I alwasy thought art was suppose to be not to technical and exact like this grid method. Seems its better to just paint what you see. who cares if its not exact. be better to change it up as you inspir it to be.

I use either Mylar or vellum for transfer. I'd like to use an overhead light tho...

Painting is about fun, not proving anything. Use any technique you want and have fun. Peace, cheers and good job.

Nice tutorial!! Once the image is sketched on the canvas, do you use the original image to do the painting and shut off the projector? Or do you leave the projector on while getting all the colors and shapes blocked in on the canvas??? Thanks again!

@DepletedU NEVER leave the projector on for very long. The bulbs are very expensive and do not last a very long time. Once you get the image on the canvas you are better off painting from the original photo. The colors from the projector are not as accurate as the photo. Thank for asking!
