Delighted to find this, thank you Marty. Now beginning again after nearly 30 years, I'm drawing with damaged hands, paints waiting for me to break the spell. I had forgotten doing transfers; that's a real gift! Thank you again.

Hi Wendy, a lot of my students hadn’t painted for years but when they came back to it they found it much easier and were able to process it better. Sorry to hear about your hands and I can appreciate how difficult it must be with the drawing aspect of art and having worked with folk with varying conditions I’m trying to think of ways to make the art process more enjoyable by eliminating any obstacles - I think that’s why the fast & loose big brush style of painting really appeals to me and many others - keep it fun :)

Just use plain tracing paper. Use graphite but only about 2B, cover with scribbles and then drop lighter fluid on it. Smear fluid to give a uniform coating. Put it loose under flapped tracing so you can check your progress. Use colored pens so you know where you have traced.@@StormLampStudios

Question..why would you lay the tracing paper/drawing on top of the watercolor paper to apply the graphite to the tracing paper? As you saw yourself you can ruin the watercolor paper with ink and also have backwards indentation of the image if you press too hard . Why wouldn’t you do it on the table then transfer it to the paper. This totally makes no sense to me.
@StormLampStudios

Hi Sandra thanks for your comment - yes the picture that I’m taking the impression of is an original watercolour, but it’s only a demo so I’m not that concerned - normally it would be a photograph that you would be doing this with on a table - the pencil I’m using is a very soft lead so doesn’t cause any damage to the paper underneath and when I use the spoon to transfer the final image, this doesn’t cause any issues either as it’s smooth - I hope that helps :)
@TerriChannel
9 ай бұрын
I was thinking the same thing! The side with the ink doesn’t need to come into contact with the clean sheet of watercolor paper while putting down the graphite on the flip side (A). If needed, just use a piece of copy/cartridge paper underneath.

Hi Terri, thanks for your comment, yes I guess it’s a matter of personal taste and what’s handy to you at the time - if I’m in the studio working I try to improvise with whatever’s at hand and i’ve been using this method a long time and it works for me :)
