Decalcomania can be used with various types of paint, including acrylic, oils, and watercolor. Here are some examples of decalcomania with different paint types:
Acrylic: There are several demonstrations and tutorials available that show how to use acrylic paint for decalcomania, such as this video by Peter Gric.
Oils: Max Ernst, a prominent Surrealist artist, used oil paint for his decalcomania artworks. A YouTube video demonstrates the use of oil paint with plastic wrap to create Max Ernst-style textures.
Watercolor: Although specific examples of famous watercolor decalcomania aren't readily available, watercolor can be used for this technique.
Overall, decalcomania can be adapted to various paint types, allowing artists to experiment with different mediums and create unique textures and patterns.
