HOW TO: transfer a sketch using tracing paper

Hi Friends!

SCROLL DOWN FOR LINKS on the products I am using in this video!

This video is an excerpt from a full one hour watercolor tutorial on HOW TO PAINt A ROBIN IN WATERCOLOUR which you can access here: vimeo.com/ondemand/robinwatercolor

In this short Youtube video I will show you how to easily transfer a sketch from tracing paper to watercolor paper, however you can use this method for canvas or panels as well!

If you're working from a screen / monitor and want to save yourself a step ( in sketching the image twice), you can pre-flip the image in your image software program like photoshop or preview (if you have a mac) so that it’s already in reverse.
