Digital Transfers in 3D Spaces

This video tutorial takes a look at my process using Transferiez on 3D surfaces. Depicted in the video are transfers onto steel sculpture. The steel used is 20 gauge cut into freestyle shapes with a plasma cutter, formed by using a vice and other metal techniques. Joined by rivets. This tutorial is not about forming the metals but about applying transfers to the surfaces. This technique is possible to use on many 3D Surfaces, not just metal.

The sculpture used in the video is at the early stage of being constructed. Once all the surfaces have been finished other 3D elements and wires will be added.

These are photos of the works in progress from this video workshop.

Material for the base of the sculpture is 20 gauge steel. Digital Transfers with Gilders Paste in areas make up the color and image portion. 

Some digital transfers on aluminum have been added to the surfaces in places.

To be added are more transfers and other elements and wire configurations. When they are finished, the final images will be posted here.

Bevel and Emboss for Texture

By KathyAnne White

Adobe Photoshop is one of my most used art tools. In order to do anything with printing alternative surfaces, my image must be printed. If my work flow was to print an image say an original photograph—my job would include the following. Open the image in Photoshop, color correct if needed, resize the image based on the surface size—then using the Photoshop print process— print on the selected surface.

For me—it isn’t quite that cut and dry. In using a photograph for printing the surfaces created in my studio, my choice is to bring out texture and other hidden facets from any image. For this workshop you will get an idea of one of the ways my images are transformed before printing. This workshop will be a process workshop. I will give you food for thought and then you will use your images and play with the techniques to create what works for you. Along the way you will discover how you want to proceed.

Using Adobe Photoshop CC we will go through my steps used to manipulate an image to add texture and dimension. There is always an element of “what if” in my work. Since there are infinite possibilities for this process (or any process using photo-manipulation software) I will show you what could happen at the various stages and then you are on your own for your creation with your image.
