How do you secure your pattern to your canvas?
Has this ever happened to you? You have transferred or traced patterns onto your canvas to follow. You start painting and the lines begin to disappear! You no longer know what the remaining lines even represent! Well, Tom has a solution for you.
Today’s Tip Comes from our “Intermediate Master Class.” Tom shows us how to add a pattern to the canvas AND how to keep it on there.
Key Points to Consider;
- Tom is drawing on a dry canvas.
- He uses a number 2 pencil.
- He s careful to get the proper placement of his figures.
- It isn’t cheating to use a pattern, or a projector, or anything else that will help you paint better!
- If anyone tells you otherwise, just smile and do it anyway!
Happy Painting!
