How to make a Picture look like a Painting - Acrylic Gel Medium - 2016
Very professional and informative video, it has really helped me.. Thank you.

I've used this technique a lot in the past on prints, many people have mistaken them for real paintings. I must admit I was surprised when he used a sponge. The secret is to paint the brush strokes in different directions as you would if you were painting the actual picture. I do like Golden gel mediums although they tend to be a bit expensive in the UK as most art products are that are manufactured in the US. There are a lot of videos from the US that say this or that product is cheap, well it maybe for them but not for us in the UK.
Agreed art is expensive in the uk. I used a sponge as I wanted texture and just experimenting 😉
Thank you for your reply. It helps me a lot! The monkey looks even cuter after you put the gel.🐵💕
I think this turned out great! Last week I was searching everything I could think of to find how to make a digital canvas print look less cheap and new, and more like a real painting. This never came up, but then showed up randomly on my feed today.
That's good I'm glad I can help. It really does make a print more I interesting ☺️
I found going over each spot only once is best. In my experience rebrushing the surface in the same spot while the medium is still wet in the same place will mess up the finish and leave a white surface. I apply a thin coat in the direction of the brush work one light stroke only and do not go over it repeatedly. If I miss a spot I do not worry about it, but when the first coat is completely dry I go over the spots I missed.
You might try sanding down the background. Wipe it down to get off the dust and go over the surface again lightly one stroke at a time.
Thank you this is very helpful. 💙
Yes you can end up with small high peaks if you keep going over the one area without waiting for it to dry.
i watched a number of videos on YT but yours is the most salient and realistic as well as tenable. Thank you so much. I drew a lot in the past I’m a senior now but all I need now is getting those family pics on the walls but with the dream of having them look like they’ve been painted or looking faux painted. what you did was so therapeutic in my opinion even just watching you do it. I was thinking that perhaps i would not use a sponge to start with but just use an appropriate brush and brush the medium in strokes that really mimic painting with brush. Thank you again. I cant wait to do it. i have a family picture to experiment.
Thank you for your comment it is very much appreciated 😍 agreed the sponge was not the best idea. 🤣 I still have the canvas on the wall and I still love it 😍
@@CheekyChace can we see it again? Or atleast make a video dos and donts, or how to keep them last long
@@athenamaming8880 thank you for your suggestion. I may just do that. 😊
@@CheekyChace willing to waitttt... super excited!!! I hope you keep this method secret please. :(
Fantastic! Your technique made a big difference in making this look like a real painting and I'm sure it will mine too! Thanks!
Thank you 😊
thanks for this! a before and after at the end would be satisfying
Thank you. 💙
there is one major issue I've discovered is make sure you do this with a strong frame or on a art board not a cheap back framed print...the gel medium will shrink your canvas as it dries and will crumble cheap print on demand canvas back frames. I made a $3000 mistake doing this, by printing all my digital art and doing this and over a little time snap crackle pop ...there went all the ones i did this to. So now I have to take out all the wood back frames and now mount them all on panels of birch wood and because of the size I still have to make cross bars..
Thank you that is good to know. Mine was on a frame so never noticed any shrinkage.
I just saw in another video on embellishing a giclee print (on canvas) that you shouldn't go back over a spot, but work top to bottom or left to right, but don't go back to something that's already started to set or you can get those white spots and/or a white haze. Instead, let the first pass dry completely, then go back and do a second - touching up anything you're not happy with. This would also be how you could build up more thickness in some of the areas, if that's something you're going for -- I saw someone do that on the petals of a flower (a huge 36x36 print) and it looked really cool.
That's very interesting I will have to give it a go. Thank you
Very nice video and information. I am excited about trying this with my prints. Thank you. Wonderful work. Hi from Sandpoint, Idaho USA
Thank you 😉 good luck and enjoy 😊
It looks amazing! Thanks so much, what a great informative video, so clear and helpful, just what I was looking for.
Thank you. Your very welcome 😍
Can't wait to try this, thanks!
Nicola Moran it is amazing 😊 enjoy
Definitely going to try it. Hope i don't ruin an expensive canvas print! Thanks for the video
Anne Nolan good luck. Start off lightly and see how you feel. Maybe practice in a cheap print 😉
if you have a canvas print why use this technique i used it on a poster i had attached to foam board( years and Years ago) it is still perfect and LOOKS like its on canvas
Love this! Thank you!
Thank you 🙂
Thanks for the beautiful video.Can that medium be applied on fine art paper prints, too? Thanks 🙋♀️👏
Thank you. The medium is quite wet. I personally wouldn't put it on paper as it might wrinkle. But I have seen people do it.
Well done 😊
I've been looking at these videos on how to embellish a print on canvas, because I bought a really nice painting (a Native American warrior, with lots of color and bold strokes) from a local artist, but didn't find out until I showed up to get it that it was a digital print on canvas. I paid $100, which is OK I suppose, but he should have told me it was a digital print. I could have declined to buy it but he's a struggling artist and we're living in a pandemic, and I was using some of my pandemic government money, so I decided to keep it... I'd been very excited about those bold colors and slashes of paint - which turned out not to be paint. I kept thinking about how I could improve the print. I am an amateur artist, myself, though not experienced at all with oil paints - but I'm thinking of embellishing this painting myself. I'd like to enhance the colored brush strokes with highlights of real paint. I'm not sure, though, if I should first texturize the print like we see here and then go in and add touches of paint -- or vice versa.
Thank you for your comment it is very much appreciated. I personally would go with paint first as the oil/ acrylic could peel off the medium. Try match the colours as best you can and go for it. When its dry put a thin coat of the medium and texture it. Don't go too thick or it will not dry clear. Good luck 😉🤞
This is gorgeous!! What canvas material is this, matte, satin or gloss? Does it have a coating on the print? If so, is it matte or something else?
Thank you. I think it's just standard fine weave canvas. I'm sure it is matt treated as there is no shine to it . After I use the medium it has a gloss finish. 😊
That's mad chace havnt seen that done before, gd though👍
J m Arts thanks 😊 it's good stuff 😉
You are the best!
Thanks 💙
Loved your work. Please provide the colour's product link.
I have a question... I did the gel process exactly as you described using Gloss Medium. Most of them dried clear but one (which is thicker) has been drying for over 25 hours (6 of those with a fan on it). It dried with a white base - it looks like Elmer's glue. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?
The gel was probably a little thick there. I have not looked into removing my white peaks. So I do not have a fix for this. I just ignored them and hung the picture as is.
@@CheekyChace Thanks so much! :)
This is Amazing!!!!
Sorry only just seen your comment. Thank you 😍
Is this better than mod podge?
Do you have update video? And better views of the finish sheen or overall matte effect/ shine effect you mentioned in the comments?
I have never used mod podge. And I will post an update of the picture very soon when I am back from holiday. 😉
Can this be done also on paper prints? Or it´s only for Canvas prints? Thanks
I have seen it done on paper but the paper may wrinkle. Do a test piece first. Good luck 👍
I’m doing this soon for a print I had mad but want to protect/make look fancy.
I’m thinking of applying an even coating of the medium, then texturizing with sponge and brushstroke.
Is my strategy a good or bad one?
I would practice on a scrap piece of the same size first. To check technique and drying times.
Good luck 🤞
Wow! Just what I was looking for! Great job. Does it matter the quality of print? Like a Giclee?
Thank you. I haven't tested it on other prints but as far as I'm aware it doesn't matter 😉
Thank you for the video. Can I paint with oil colors over the dried (Gel Medium) canvas picture?
Your welcome. I would personally varnish it first then paint with oils as I'm not sure how the oil will react or stick to the gel. You could always try it and see if the oil starts to peel off of a disposable piece.
วาดรูปสวยมากค่ะ
Great video. Thank you
Your welcome 😉
Can I just say the fact that you said thank you an hour after I posted on a video that you loaded 5 years ago is VERY impressive! :)
Haha thank you 🤣 not so quick on this comment 🤔 much appreciated 😍
Ive tried touching up my print on canvas with acrylic paint. Each stroke is tooo shiny. Ive been researching what products to touch up with, to avoid the obvious shine of the acrylic paint... to no avail.
Do you know? The print was made from Costco using Epson stylus pro Inc. thank you!
Hi. I have the same problem as some acrylic paints dry flat and others dry glossy. I usually do a final spray gloss finish on the whole piece to balance it out. And I have had some success with a Matt varnish to try flatten the shine. The product I used I this video is mat. And if applied thinly it may remove the shine from your acrylic. Do a test piece. I would recommend to cover the whole canvas as it may balance it enough that the shine may not be so obvious.
You could also try mixing a small bit of the product in your paint and see how it dry's.
Let me know how you get on 😊
Can i use this gel on picture from canon pro 4000 printer? Or just used with painting
Yes you can use this gel on printed paper or photos 😉
You didn't show anything about the picture itself. What material is it? Can it be done from a printer picture?
The picture itself is printed on canvas from photo box. As far as I'm aware this technique can be used on photos and paper obviously you will need to be careful about smudging the ink.
@@CheekyChace I've even used it on encaustic photographs to give a final finish.
I love your idea.
Deb Marabito thank you 😉
do I understand correctly - you started with a simple printed canvas (print of a photo)?
Franziska Fine this was a digital painting I did and had printed on a canvas. I then embellished it with the gel medium. So yes it was a printed canvas. This technique supposedly applies to photos and posters. However I have not tried that yet 😊
Thanks for your question - had NO IDEA what the point of this was... didn’t know if he painted it? Transferred it to canvas or bought a canvas print... 🤷♀️
Love this. What vendor did you use to print and is that canvas you had it printed on? Great job
Kimberlie Pekez Thank you 😊
I used photobox and yes it's on canvas
Very cool great job
Martin Duffy thank you 😉 your very kind
What other gel can we use? Liquitex? Mod podge?
I'm not sure I have not experimented with others.
Any report on damage long term to the image/print. Longevity? archieval?
Sorry only just seen your comment. The image is exactly as it was the day I did it. No change in colour or cracks 😍
Dose it work on noraml pic too? Not canvas
As far as I'm aware off
We can use any medium matte or gloss?
vignesh vicky yes 😉 it just depends on the look you are going for 😊
@@CheekyChace Matt doesn't dry clear
@@MichaelChylinski thank you. Yes you are right. Parts are clear and some not so much. It still looks good though 😉
So this is how it's done?
Thanks
Well one way of doing it 😉
@@CheekyChace so is there another way of doing as well?
@@kennethr408 theres bound to be. I just haven't looked into it. As I haven't needed to do it again. 😉
Hello!, you have to Varnish the print first?
Hello. If the print is not sealed it will smudge or the ink will run when you paint the medium on it. My print came pre sealed and I assume all prints will have some kind of sealant.
@@CheekyChace Thank You Friend!!
Thank you for this! I bought a few inexpensive wall prints and when they arrived the prints show brush strokes in them but the surface is completely smooth...it just doesn't look finished to me so I'm going to add those much needed brush strokes!
Your welcome and good luck 😊
So my X wife did take modeling up lol..
🤣🤣🤣
