Cover Image With Cheesecloth for an Oil Painting Look


Gold Post Medal for All Time! 846 Posts

For inexpensive artwork that looks like an oil painting, you can use a picture from an old calendar (or similar paper stock) by gluing it to poster board or cardboard and then lay a piece of cheese cloth over the picture. Next step is to brush on a thin coat of shellac over the cheese cloth. Once dry, cut the board and cheese cloth to fit the size of the picture. Place in a frame proper for the size. Bet you can find a frame in a dollar store or at a garage sale on the cheap ;-)

What a wonderful, cheap, and frugal idea! Now I wish I had saved all of those calendar pictures that I had cut out and didn't know what to do with them! Thank you for sharing the idea.

You can also use ModPodge or even thinned white Elmers-type glue to decoupage a picture and also create texture.
