Merci Intéressant Pourrait on utiliser cette méthode de transfert avec l’acrylique ? Et

Anxious to see you get started to see how you still keep the image. Can you send a link?

This method looks messy not very good if your painting is going to be A1 size. I just use carbon paper between my image and canvas/canvas board. I use a 0.7 retractable pencil to put the image onto the canvas. Use bull dog clips to clamp it together. Move the carbon paper around to the area you wish to trace. Put small lines around the image and canvas so you can remove the image and put it back in the same position.

Great information 😊…thank you…

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Unless you are copying your own photo this seems like a bad idea to teach. Hand drawn is always better. Copyright infringement is a big deal in the art world and wasn’t even mentioned.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am trying to find my style and found this topic and you by chance. I have subscribed and look forward learning from you. As of now I have been trying different mediums. Graphite being my favorite so far. I am open to learning different mediums though. I wish you success with your art and new channel. Cheers

Very helpful 👌 thank you!

Critiquing your method: Your oil paint on paper is actually a waste of paint. What you've done is made a type of carbon paper. I taught this to students except we took our graphite sticks , usually a 6B or 8B, and covered the paper heavily . It made this type of transferring images as well as using actual carbon paper. Graphite covered paper is actually available at most art suppliers. Save your paint. A grahite stick is only a dollar or so. No waiting for paint to dry. Too much discussion. Less than 10 minutes of actual demonstration. If your audience is anything like my students, they lose interest when the discussion gets lengthy. They want to see the application, not hear about it . After all, even visual artists have difficulty picturing what you're explaining and have a better grasp of the method when watching it performed. You would benefit by editing and using more time-lapse camera. Trust me, most of your viewers will nod off or click away from boredom . That's why it's called visual arts. Ps, Critiquing is the best part of learning. Sometimes it can offend, but nothing learned by only getting a pat on the back. Have a great day.

excellent advice . . . one thing i've learned to do over the years is to keep a slip on pair of shoes that are worn only in the studio.

I love this explanation/analysis on projectors vs. tracing and the ups and downs of it. Thank you so much for giving info on all the common methods (not just the favored one) because, at least, the pros and cons are mentioned …. And you have a heads up at least …. I am a tinkerer… I have to refine my processes to get it down to a routine, so I’ve done lots of KZbin research, books, and lots and lots of my own methodology. I will be watching! Thanks

You invented carbon paper!

Another thing: once you've established you camera settings for exposure, etc., consider using a remote shutter control to snap the image. That way, you can choreograph your subject's pose in different positions without having to be at the camera to snap the picture.

John Howard Sanden - very accomplished portraitist - supplemented his color study of subjects with photographs he took. One thing I've learned as an amateur is that if you're painting portraits, make certain you take a photo with distinct shadow shapes.

Oh man I had bartered my old Nikon dslr to my brother for a washing machine, but I think I’ll save up for a new one

I use affinity 2 software on my Mac and transfer the photo to the program. I next size the screen to match my canvass size and then print it out in b/w up to 10”x17” paper. Now I take that printout to my canvas and use tracing paper fo copy the main features of the portrait. I save the printouts as reference in case I need it to confirm exact spacings. I also copy the original photo to my iPad and use it for a colour reference. Works everytime…..😎

I found the info very helpful thanks

I have laid canvas directly on my big screen TV that's hooked up to my computer. By measuring the zoom size on screen and using a grid or quadrants on canvas, I can get a large and accurate transfer through the canvas. I have to mount the canvas afterwards so this is does not work for other surfaces.

Better to make mistakes than cheat using photos. If you make replicas of photos, then just show the photograph

Great Video, my friend. ❤

We don’t see the result

great set up!

I appreciate you explaining the different con pounds in the paints. Good to know

Thanks, I use chalk when no tracing paper available. Usually tracing paper is adequate, but the oil paint is interesting. I fast forwarded to the demo.

That's old school any more. The digital projectors can do everything you can do on a computer. No taping and dicing any more. You can move in any direction as well as zoom in and out. The only problem is that only pro's will have one. They have a hefty price tag of around $450. I bit the bullet and bought mainly because of a direct connection with your phone. It also has screen mirroring in case of backwards text.

Did you darken the cat fur from part 2 or is it the Camrys?

I ❤ it. Thank you for demonstrating

Can you varnish when the paint is dry?

Very good explained - thank you so much! 😊

Don’t you lose a lot of the transferred details when your painting the picture?

Way too much explaining. The demo starts at 15:16.

Hi Chris I have that same exact mechanical pencil, mostly used it for drafting

Simply using a piece of carbon paper accomplishes the same thing, better yet get a proportional divider and learn to draw

Thank you Chris, I loved the video.

Talks too much about other methods being unsuccessful; his method is similar and has problems also which are similar

Is there any reason you couldn’t mount the paper to a panel after you’ve painted it?

Loved hanging out with you on the channel! Great work!

So sorry about the reverb in the audio. I had a setting wrong in my audio recording software. Regardless, enjoy the video everyone! ❤

Thank you ❤

Happy New Year!!! Hope this next one is great one!

Brilliant really helpful

​@chrisclampart I've heard that it's easier to began with building up layers of water based acrylics first ,then adding oil based acrylics last. Wouldn't doing this transfer method prevent you from starting a new picture if you decided you don't like the painting because there's already oil on your surface? If so is there another method you could demonstrate that would still give precise proportions with the transfer for those that want to began with water-based acrylics before moving on to oil based? Thanks!

I'm extremely visual. Nothing you said in the 1st half of the video translated over. 😭I almost dismissed the video, I'm glad I was patient until the end. Now I'll have to rewatch several times, Thanks!

to much waffle,lets see the product.

I am still ironing-out the small buts in my livestream set-up, so please forgive any of the small issues. The next streams will be much better! 😃

This is my first livestream on KZbin in which I start a painting of my cats. I absolutely loved doing this, and I hope to do more livestreams in the future. Clearly, I need to improve my set up, so please Subscribe and stay tuned for more!

Thank you for this info! I was all set to use a water based medium to adhere, but happy to see an alternative. I am familiar with fusing fabrics using a product that is applied in a similar fashion, with an iron. I know for a fact that the paper peeled away, with a dull side and a shiny side, is very useful. Don’t throw it away until maybe you get a larger sheet 😊 and keep that! Irons can harbor icky stuff so don’t apply an iron you are not familiar with right off the bat (always make sure it is dry with no water inside the reservoir and steam button off if an option). Test on old fabric in a light color to detect any stains the sole plate might leave behind. Use that paper to keep off brown stains, from interior condensation, that could be in that iron. Also be aware of any adhesives on the sole from the project before. It could be transferred to the linen if the paper isn’t big enough to cover the size. There are iron cleaners for the soles of irons and you can buy them at fabric and quilting stores. Again, thank you for this information!

Please show dont tell. I d Like to learn but i am stupid and german. 🙂🧐

Love your channel! I learned this method in art school in the 1970s - except with graphite paper. After your good explanation, I’m going to try with tracing paper and oils. Thanks so much!

Congratulations on your channel.
