Product Information

Double-check that the tape on the transfer paper and the tape on the reference photo are tight and secure.

You can reuse graphite paper a few times before the graphite wears out, so it's economical to save a sheet and use it a few times! Make sure that the "messy" side of the transfer paper is facing down, towards your canvas, and the "clean" side is facing up.These two work-in-progress images show how the visual information that is recorded by the transfer paper serve as visual pinpoints for the placement of each feather. Each sheet of graphite transfer paper leaves no unwanted marks on hands or surfaces to provide you with a mess-free application.

I help aspiring artists learn to paint for fun AND for profit even if they've never sold any of their work before. Simply lay the transfer paper between the image to be copied and the drawing/watercolour paper and outline the image with a pencil etc. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. As long as you remember not to drag your drawing hand across the surface, you will achieve a clean clear line drawing. Use them for classroom activities and crafts with young ones, and you can create, for instance, illustrations for coloring in, practice tracing before moving onto freehand, or simply demonstrate how transfers work.Well, transfer paper (also known as graphite paper) works in exactly the same way, only using erasable graphite. Tracing the outline to ensure the right proportions is great as one can spend lots of time trying to get the proportions absolutely correct. I encourage my art students that learning to paint is like a triathlon – you need to be able to cycle, swim and run, but if you try to learn all of these at once, it’s going to be a little overwhelming.

Wax free Tracedown transfer paper allows a quick and simple way to copy images by placing one sheet face down between your original and the surface you want the image on and simply tracing over the original's outline (using the same principle as Carbon Paper).To help support my content creation, including articles, videos, and podcast, I use affiliate links for reviews and recommended gear. I occasionally used the grid method, but mostly I pored laboriously over every detail in the original image, endeavoring to replicate the image exactly on the canvas.
