Using Wet Media Dura-Lar allows both sides of the film to accept water-based mediums, including paint! Just study your favorite photo of your pet and you can create a fun dog portrait. You can print out the photo and layer the Dura-Lar on top to get the painting started. When you’re done with the subject, you can flip the film over and paint a background on the back, like shown in this tutorial!
