Alice, your question requires a course-long answer for exposure, film speed, etc. Try taking a beginning photography course here at BetterPhoto.

As for the actual Polaroid image transfer technique, I exposed a slide onto Polaroid 669 peel-apart film, peeled the negative apart after 10 seconds, and placed the negative on watercolor paper for the image to transfer. I handcolored the transfer a little with pastel pencils. I teach a course on Polaroid image and emulsion transfers through BetterPhoto, if you want to learn.
