I honestly didn't expect to love coloring photo transfers this much! In this creative experiment, I’m showing you how to use colored pencils on photo transfers to add vibrant, artistic detail to your images. Whether you are using a gel plate transfer or a blender marker transfer, adding color can completely transform the final look.
I’m testing three different methods to see which works best on the unique texture of a transfer: Standard Colored Pencils, Watercolor Pencils and Pastel Pencils. Lets see how they become the perfect technique for mixed media art, altered photos, or anyone looking for creative ways to color photo transfers.
