eric, in order to get the image onto the canvas, you hatched the back of the edited print out and traced over it. This worked because the size of the print out was roughly the same size as the canvas but, how would i go about getting a portrait onto a larger canvas?(where tracing an 8 by 11 picture is too small..) (it is a 16 by 20 canvas)

there is away I think to make the print out print twice the actual size. It would print on two pieces of paper. You would have to tape them together or something. Let me do some research and figure it out for you.

I think I just learned more about painting from watching your short video series than I have from the stack of books I've got and trial and error. Ignore any of the few critics and keep up the great work!  I'm going to be trying this technique for a portrait of my niece's new baby girl and I know she's going to love it. And that will be great practice for when I start doing my own creations.

To transfer a copied picture to a larger canvas. I'd rather go to Kinkos and have them enlarge the picture on one larger sheet to avoid needing to tape 2 sheets together. It would only cost a couple dollars. I've had them make several copies of my art work. Pencil and pastel and they never smudged any of them.
