Yes, you can use acrylic paint on transfer paper for image transfers.
While acrylic paint can be used, certain types of acrylic mediums or gels often provide better results for image transfers because they are specifically designed for this purpose. They generally offer clearer and more consistent image lifts.
Here's a breakdown:
- Acrylic Paints and Mediums that Work: Almost any acrylic gel, medium, or acrylic paint can lift an image.
- Recommended Medium: Soft Gel (Gloss) is often recommended for the clearest image transfer, especially when brushed on.
- Avoiding Brush Strokes: If you want to avoid brush strokes, consider pouring the medium onto the paper instead of brushing it.
In summary, while standard acrylic paint can work, using an acrylic medium (like a soft gel gloss) can often lead to a higher-quality and clearer image transfer.
