Basics on Getting Your Image Onto Watercolour Paper – Grid, Tracing or Light Box

This lesson is a speedy demonstration of simple ways to get your sketch onto paper, ready for painting. Although you need a good sketch to be able to do a good painting, if you struggle with drawing that shouldn’t stop you painting, you just need to make it easier for yourself.

I’d recommend doing a freehand sketch first, then pick a method or two and redo the sketch so you have a comparison. They all might be perfect, but it will allow you to see whether your freehand sketch is correct – it’s easier comparing pencil sketches than comparing a sketch to a printed out colour photo while you’re deciding what works for you.
