If it's 12 X 12, I have to assume you did something to enlarge the photo. Can you explain what you did to me, please. I really like this piece. The flying red horse is an excellent choice for drawing your eye into it.
Dave, I took one of my Holga pictures blew it up on photoshop to 8 x 8 used a filter to just pick up the darks and lights and reversed the image and printed it off and photocopied it. Next steps: Collage canvas with old paper Covered the collage with acrylic polymer medium and let it dry. Covered photo image with polymer medium and placed it face down on canvas. I let it dry completely. I also ironed it down using a craft iron...once dry I wet the paper with a sponge and rubbed off the paper leaving the image. Then I enhanced with paint and oil pastel. Hope this makes sense.
