Matte Medium Transfers

This is a process involving matte medium, clear gesso and a simple drawing of vegetables. The Matte medium is applied to attach the drawing to the surface, and the clear gesso is used for textures that will be applied during the painting process.

The first is a finished product for the texture assignment, used in acrylic on mat board
