After just completing the hand sanitizer transfer I found the section on acrylic lift transparencies from printed sources particularly interesting. Many artists have utilized  transfer techniques including Rauschenberg. I was unaware that there was such a large variety of ways of doing it. This particular method involves using acrylic gloss medium, dish washing soap, water and magazines. I thought it was interesting that you had to use clay coated paper in order for the transfer to stay. I’ve done a version of this technique using an acrylic gloss medium and got some disappointing results. I plan on trying this method to see if it is more successful.
