I have been devastated all day about a painting that failed because I couldn't replicate my sketch, and this gave me hope and helped pull me out of my spiral. Thank you!

It’s not even 1 minute and I heard “before I make love with my sketch book” 😂

Lol. Great video!
I've been trying to figure out how to do this for years and the drawing never comes out as great when I tried drawing it on canvas so this technique is heaven sent

I've had a problem with duplicating my art from my sketch book into the canvas, and i just gave up, and drew right on the canves with a pencil. So when i saw the video, i clicked faster than flash, and i can say it changed my artistic life intirely, i wish i knew it years back. And i just love the humor you put into the intro! So congrats on earning a new subscriber :D

Of course, and there is me looking at this video after I did a few trips around town looking for carbon paper. Expending money i didn't have to finish a homework that was supposed to be done yesterday. Nice job!!

Couple of handy tips, especially for the final method:
-If you do a photocopy/scan of your image and reverse it, you can use oil pastel, Chinagraph, coloured pencils, crayons etc. to get different colours for shading and so on. Attach it to the back of your main image and use the same process, but mark off areas of different colour.
-If you're doing this on 180gsm+ paper to transfer onto, you'll also end up with an embossed middle sheet that can be used to get lines for gelli-printing.
-Keep the images you used to transfer, as you can cut them out and use for masking or stencilling.

You are a bloody legend, thank you. Here I was thinking that I’d have to buy a portable projector (even the “bargain” ones cost so much!) when the carbon pencil and tracing paper method were Right There. Can’t wait to try this out. 💜

I have been trying to figure out how to transfer a drawing I did on to canvas and was stressing out about it. Mainly cause I tried to draw on the canvas which was just messy and painful 😭 Your third technique is perfect and I'm going to start transferring right now, so long story long, thank you! This will help tremendously!

[odeiminandsage]

Gurrrllll... you had me cracking up yet again!!! You are priceless and I just love your sense of playful humor <3


Thanks to taking your "Art that WOWS" class, I have used the first technique a couple of times and like that transfer method the best. You are one awesome Queen Bee. Much love to you!!!

Hands down the best transfer guide on YouTube

[carolgrigsby]

You are great - love your techniques!!! Enjoyed your humor combined with classical music

[biror]

I have another funny tip that is actually works, if you wants to make any art on paper you can trace the sketch with your monitor. Yes any kind of modern monitor or even smart television lcd is perfect for tracing. Its a similar thing when u are put the paper to the window and the picture reflecting through the light, but its way better.

Awesome tips! Going to try to transfer an image to a Tee to then go over the lines with a fabric pen.

I have ADHD and tried to watch it 3 times. You are a fantastic teacher and I think I gleaned enough to wing it. I also subscribed because I want to see more... And also like bees!
