Message:: [QUOTE="Alec Sutton, post: 33207, member: 80"]"When I did look at it with light behind it, the light came through bright, not as dark as what a piece of paper would do. The chips that came off, were brittle, very, very thin." If it's a canvas transfer, as I suggested, this is what you'd expect to see. There's no paper. It is removed in the transfer process. From c.1960 to the emergence of giclée [inkjet], many reproductions on canvas used this process. They're still being made today, but not so often. To less experienced eyes, canvas transfers textured with acrylic medium can look like oil paintings. That was the whole point of using the method.[/QUOTE]
