From Prompt to canvas

That was exactly how it went for me. It’s very easy to get hooked. I figure I was spending a fair amount on other people’s designs, so the $30 wasn’t so terrible.

I just checked out Mid Journey and it look looks to have great possibilities. With the 25 free images they seem to be only small download size. When you pay in, are they bigger? Thank you for opening up some big possibilities for me.

These are beautiful. What are you engraving them on? I guess I’m too new. The colors a wonderful. How do you get all the colors? Are you painting the wood bedore the engraving?

He’s using canvas boards

Are they pre colored or do you paint the canvas board with acrylic or spray paint before engraving?

If you look back up to the second photo and also read the caption below it, you will see what he does. Paints a layer of color or colors first, then a layer of black on top of that when it’s dry. The laser goes through the black and reveals the design in color. I’ve tried it too…it’s lots of fun.

These are some of my old posts describing the process:

Hello!

Did happen to post the setting info in beyond the manuals? I can’t find it and want to try this.

Thank you!
