thanks. that works like a charm. one tube needed several dippings but it eventually loosened.

Do us all a favor and save a lot of wasted time and just delete this video.

Thank you.❤️😊

Seems like at 4 1/2 x 5 inches you'd have rectangles, not squares. I would use 1 inch squares on the reference and 2,3,4 etc. inch squares on the canvas

Yes Roxanne --this grid works well --been using it for 50 years to enlarge wildlife fotos of mine onto canvas for painting -----

No grandma its not working

Could not even figure out getting the first square

If photograph squares are 1 inch tall by 1 inch wide and canvas squares are 4.5 inch tall and 5 inch wide, won't your canvas image be elongated horizontally?

Mine just fell off the table and stopped working 😢 haven't even had it for a week

The method you give is in error. Your method actually ensures one thing: that no matter what aspect ratio you use in the photo & the canvas, you will be able to take the full photo, & draw it using the full size of any size canvas, due to dividing side lengths of the original into the lengths of the canvas; however, with distortion, if the aspect ratios differ. That is not the goal. The goal is to accurately transfer the original image to a canvas. The ONLY way to have accuracy is to have the same aspect ratio between the original & the canvas. THEN, it will work to do the math, to figure out how big the squares should be on the large canvas, so that both picture & canvas have the same number of squares.

Thank God for this! was about to pull my last remaining hair out LOL. Very appreciated.

Thanks, I’ll try your method first! 😊👍

Need to learn how to blow up a portrait with a desk top printe 3:40

Thank you! The hot water worked perfectly

Good job!

Thank you

Thank you!

Heel irritant als de tekst precies over het te schilderen papier wordt gemonteerd.

I actually used to take a ruler and lay out my images but this is much easier with a grid

Thanks for sharing that

Thank you so much! I've been doing portraits for years now but I have one that I just don't want to cut the image off but my canvas is 2 inches larger than the photo. In the past I would have worked around this like making the canvas the correct size or just trimming the reference photo to fit but there's no getting around it this time, they want this specific size and if I trim the reference photo I feel that it will take away some of the depth because no matter which way I trim it it will lose some of the important details of the painting. You are amazing!

OK, I understand the ratio, but how do you actually get the image onto the canvas? Are you painting it on? I am refinishing a piece of furniture and I want to enlarged a black and white image onto canvas sheets to adhere to the furniture, without loosing detail. Thanks for any help or advice.

Can it work with white paper?

Thanks Roxanne ❤

Thank you 😊

Interesting, I just realized my cornstarch was mixed with potato starch and saw your video. I just wouldn't put it on the back as the canvas should be able to "breathe".

thankyou so much

Just shared with my daughter who is making a huge banner. Thank you!

Thank you.🙏

Thank you……🙏🎨

Simple yet brilliant, as a brand new painter but a perfectionist to a fault this helps a lot!

Dear god that went side ways quickly there has got to be an easier way!

I had 12 gauche paint tubes stuck. After watching, I managed to open 11 with the hot water method. But the black one was very stubborn. First, I was using cloth to open them, later I used hand. That's when I bruised my finger with the black one and it didn't even open 😭. Atleast others came out.

This hurts my eyes get a camera man to place you camera

looks good! Thank you!

Wonderful🙏🙏🙏

I've always wondered how this is done. Thank you KZbin and thank you Roxanne!

Hi everyone. I am looking for an artist to do the same. Small to large. About 10feet x8 feet canvas. Please help. Thanks

Thanks so much Roxanne. I couldn’t remember the algorithm. Thx for shareing

Thank you! This is what I needed!

Why did you use 4 1/2 by 5 instead of 4 1/4 by 5. I followed everything, I think except for that.

Thanks grandma,that thing actually worked

Thank you so much 🌹

In less than 10 seconds you demonstrated How Not to clean glass in a picture frame by using a cleaner that has ammonium in it. e.g. Windex.

Thank you so much❤️

My art teachers always shamed the use of tortillons. No joke, SHAMED! It was angular shading or bust! It still makes me recoil when I see it, even though it is PERFECT in the right circumstances! Thanks for showing how there are no hard and fast "rules" in art ☺️

Thank you

Best instructions on creating a grid transfer. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you 🙏🏻

Question. Why one inch squares on the drawing? Second question, are there 50 boxes on your canvas like your photo?
