This is a simple tutorial I use all the time to enlarge and project photos on to canvas so that I can draw and trace round lines to get exact measurements.

I googled how to enlarge and project onto canvas without a projector and it led me to you! This is the exact low tech solution I was looking for! 🎉 Thank you for this video!

[@EmmaRave]

Amazing, I love that!! 💜

[@zarzosangthiek1747]

The whole process is an art by itself 😂

[@christineysmalone]

I used this process on a painting I'm getting ready to do and it worked so wonderfully.

[@ndkurai]

Out of all the methods I’ve seen this is the most clever one! Trying it out today.

[@EmmaRave]

amazing! 😁 thanks for watching!

[@deederrs]

Completely agree! I can’t wait to try it out !

[@raysmith2940]

Very much like the old masters used to do. You have brought a very affordable way for anyone to enlarge an image. I use a projector, but I am lucky to have one. This is so nice for those who want to enlarge images.

[@EmmaRave]

Thanks Ray 😁

[@karenjones3713]

I was looking at buying a projector, but definitely going to give this a go - thank you Emma! I have lost my confidence with freehand drawing, so this is very useful for me.

[@EmmaRave]

Oh that's great! I'm pleased you found this video before spending money on a projector - it really is a good method 👍🏻

[@HelmetVanga]

you are right freehand drawing is not easy, it takes plenty of practice. Vincent Van Gogh said, to be a Fine Art painter, you have to start with drawing. Wish you luck with your paintings

[@supermodeljaz6829]

Ingenious! Thank you for sharing, you’re saving people hundreds of dollars on a projector 💚💚💚 thank you immensely! May you receive prosperity, wealth and large sums of money everywhere you go. Happy Holidays, Emma!

[@EmmaRave]

Thats such a lovely comment! Thank you 😊 ☺️

[@akindasteve]

Simple and effective, I love the home made recycled cost free nature of your projector. Thanks for posting!

[@EmmaRave]

Thanks you 😁

[@tomboytalk2108]

You are a life saver!! I am making a display at work (Lowes) for the christmas tree tent area. I needed to project an image onto a fence panel so I could paint it on there. Our projector is missing and to rent one for a 20 minute job was crazy. I have tried some other methods and they didn't work. THIS WAS PERFECT!! I can't thank you enough for making this video!!

[@EmmaRave]

Aww that's so nice of you to say! I'm so pleased it helped and that you didn't have to end up renting a projector 😁 I bet your display looks lovely!!

[@susansmith-sargent4944]

Brilliant!! I am a silk painter and I frequently need to enlarge my drawings to the proportion of the canvas I will be mounting my silkpainting on (photo>tracing>enlargement). This is by far the simplest, easiest, and cheapest means I have seen of doing that! Thank you for saving me $ on a fancy projector:))))

[@EmmaRave]

I'm so pleased this will help you and save money!! 😁👍🏻

[@jennyhart536]

You're a bloody genius! Thank you! x

[@robertoh9314]

I want to salute you for your ideas that are creative and helpful to many people.

[@EmmaRave]

Thanks :)

[@philiptownsend4026]

That's an ingenious approach, I'm impressed. You have me thinking now about how to make a version with up to a 24x36 inch canvas horizontally on a table with an Anglepoise or clip lamp so i don't have to crawl about on the floor with my bad back.

[@EmmaRave]

Yes amazing, it should work 👍🏻

[@lynnetterose5333]

This is awesome. I've been asked to do a human portrait. Animals are my specialty. Given the fact that the family member knows exactly what the loved ones looks like, there is no margin for error. This is brilliant.

[@EmmaRave]

thank you :)

[@user-nf3pe6mq2i]

My Dear Friend! My overhead projector fell and stopped working. I have been searching all morning for a work around. After tedious DIYs, apps that are bogus, and a great deal of frustration, I found your video! From one artist to another, much thanks!🤗💜

[@EmmaRave]

Aww I'm so pleased! Glad I could help ☺

[@Ash-uv4td]

This deserves waaaay more views

[@EmmaRave]

Thanks! ☺️

[@aurelbota8332]

Very smart idea, no projector ,no high expense. Ingenious, thanks for the tip.

[@katiyart]

Love it. I am going to try it ❤ Thanks for sharing!

[@sweetie8724]

This really saved me spending so much money for an enlarger! I’ve been admiring the large canvas paintings of a dogs face on a large canvas in my vets office. I’m definitely going to use this method to Wow the friends

[@marythomas6938]

I saw this last month. Now i want, i was searching about a week for this video..❤️ Finally i got, and followed. The best one..✌️😊

[@EmmaRave]

amazing! I'm glad you found it 😁

[@idaPerez-js3re]

So creative. I was looking for a projector and never in my wildest dreams would have come up with this. Good to know.

[@nancyloomis3046]

This is such a great idea! I think I’ve heard of it before, but you explained it all so well. I trace a LOT, using carbon paper or just laying down a lot of graphite or color pencil on the back of the photo or image, bc I just don’t want to take forever before I can even start painting… the drudgery of erasing, drawing, adjusting, erasing, again, and on and on before I can even get get going with the best part. Thanks so much!

[@EmmaRave]

Yes I totally get the struggle of years of tracing and drawing graphs and erasing so I was so happy to find this technique and I'm glad I can share it with everyone 👍🏻

[@Pat206]

Thank you so much. This is incredible! Other ideas I've seen with cardboard are quite involved, so I don't bother. Yours is so simple and works. Thanks again.

[@EmmaRave]

Perfect!! 😁☺

[@twohandsandaradio]

Excellent video! Camera Obscura, Camera Lucida and now we have Camera Emma. Old school projector. Thank you for this. The art to this is approaching it from the right angle so to not obscure your lines. That's a challenge. thank you for this!

[@EmmaRave]

Yes, its a bit of a challenge but easier if you can prop it up off the floor

[@CharleyHays]

So clever !! I am going to try it this weekend.

[@EarlWoodJr]

I just used this method and it worked great. Thank you!

[@craftykat]

This is brilliant! You legit made a DIY projector. I remember using overhead projectors in school back in the day. Thank you.

[@siddharthpanchal718]

Brilliant idea ! I was looking for something like this. It's so simple, and clever.

[@daniellerepp6093]

I've watched multiple transfer videos! This is my favorite! Can't wait to try!

[@genebaldini8392]

Thank you for the no BS presentation. Well done

[@lizamarshall7506]

That is just so cool!!!! I've been using grids for yrs, but feel I must try this. Thank you!

[@22qartandmusic]

I need to save this process for my digital work! Thank you! Could be a huge game changer for me! I was actually looking for a completely different method to transfer my digital work to canvas when I found your method!

[@EmmaRave]

Amazing! 🤩

[@janicewalters9665]

Great idea! I will be trying that sooner than soon. Thanks, Emma

[@globalbytes3162]

Really clever! Can’t wait to try it!

[@peteskyrunner4845]

Great idea. I've been looking at projectors today but then looked for an alternative and found this. I want to paint pictures from photos I have taken and I don't have them printed out, so I'm just going to trace them off my PC monitor instead :-). Top tip people.

[@EmmaRave]

Yes that would work too! 😁👍🏻

[@simb231]

sounds great.

[@philiptownsend4026]

That's a good thought.

[@posadafan2058]

Brilliant! I've been struggling for hours this week, trying to get an image on a large canvas; I'm pretty picking about sizing. I was looking at expensive (and bulky) projectors; this is easy, quick and don't take up any storage room. THANKS!

[@EmmaRave]

I'm glad the tutorial has helped! and saved money too :)

[@momma8487]

thanks for the explanation. you made it look easy! super helpful!!

[@jodysmith7399]

Great idea worked very well with a few adjustments and very easy compared to some of the grid ideas. Thanks heaps .

[@mattm.6969]

Amazing hack! I was about to spend over $60 on a mini projector that would’ve stalled my project for days! Thank you so much for this important tip!!

[@lesliemiller3628]

I bought an inexpensive projector and the bulb almost caught my photo on fire !!

[@mattm.6969]

@@lesliemiller3628 I ended up buying the projector about a year ago and It was pretty nice! I haven’t used it since then tho. It’s good for mini movie nights. How did the bulb almost burn your phone? Did you project it onto your phone?

[@veegunter9671]

Thank you Emma. You are awesome. Will try this to trace my sketches onto larger canvases.

[@gadizabouja2764]

So clever. Thanks for Charing your idea
