How to use transfer spray for your paintings - instead of tracing or carbon paper

- Sometimes you need to transfer a drawing onto your final painting surface and maybe you don’t have the time, confidence or skills to do it. We all know about using tracing paper, but could transfer spray be the right alternative?
I think drawing skills are vital and need to be developed, but while you are in training, how about this as an alternative?
Fast drying transfer spray allows you to create tracing down type paper. It creates a carbon-like surface on the back of drawings, sketches, prints and photos. It transfers well onto paper, canvas, walls, primed wood, cloth and other surfaces, providing a light grey line.
I show you how to use it and some of the pitfalls, along with tips and hints. You are not restricted by size or format. In this film I use Seawhite, but other brands such as Ghiant are available.

I didn´t know it exists.
I use pastels, soft pastels, not oil pastels.
I rub the pastel at the backside of the drawing to copy.
sky blue, or magenta, not too dark colour.
sometimes an inverted colour.
But now I prepared a sheet of paper this way for use as transfer paper.
It´s cheap and you haven´t to wait until it becomes dry.
Just a suggestion from a non professionel.
Best greatings from the continent !
🙂
Thats what I do too!!!
Sounds good. There are lots of options and each works for different people and different projects.
@@pokemama9317 it sounds good!
I just rub the back of the paper with charcoal or graphite. Charcoal is the easiest to erase and is very friendly to watercolor paper. No can, no spray, no odor.
Agreed, that works well too. It’s just another option and different options work for different projects and different people.
The advantage of pastels is the colour.
You can chose every colour you has.
And you can integrate it into the drawing / painting.
Great video! Do you know if this will work on a acrylic painted canvas?😊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It certainly should.
Oh i love your turtle. He's beautiful
Thank you!
@@LizChadertonArt ((Hugs)) thank you for your kindness and support for teaching folks art ideas and techniques. Hush for the negative energy thrown at you. Kindness first.
Thank you! 99.99% is positive energy 😃@@ginaquinn2
Wow, I wish it were available in the US
it must be! You have way more art materials than we do! Maybe not this brand but similar - perhaps you call it something different?
Kelly, I can usually find ANYTHING on line. But you're right. We can't get any brand of this product in the US. I'm really surprised
@@AFAskygoddess oh my goodness! Will ask some American watercolo(u)rust friends….
Thanks for sharing this cool new product! Cute lil turtle, too! 🐢
It’s been around for a while. Great on larger pieces.
What brand is this? I can’t find it anywhere!!😢
are you in the UK? Try Ghiant or Seawhite
@@LizChadertonArt No. I’m in the US.
@@JoneeBlair sorry, I can’t advise….
Very interesting! Seems like a good idea, especially for drawings with details that I just can't sketch freehand at this point (I've got all I can handle learning how to paint right now! HAHA!). Thanks for testing it out for us, Liz.
It’s another possible option. Keep working on the drawing 😊
Seems like a great product, and it doesn’t take a lot to work well! Thanks!
it’s just another tool in the toolkit!
Do you know where we can get it in the US?
I was told it was on Amazon US. Look for the Ghiant brand.
Does anyone know where this might be found in the US? Love the turtle.
look for the Ghiant brand ( that’s a Belgium company). apparently they are on Amazon in the US
Thank you.
@@heianwomanactually it’s not sold on Amazon - or anywhere in US
Question is whether it is harmful to our precious environment.
I cannot find a full technical data sheet online, so if you have specific questions the manufacturer will answer them. It does say it is flammable and is harmful to aquatic life, but that is standard for most aerosols. Sorry I cannot tell you more. I do know that Seawhite has many environmental accreditations (details on their website).
Dont spray it in a river 🙄
Spray can? Think of the ozone layer. Not a good product to be promoting.
@@thenoobalmighty8790 I won’t!
I will contact the company and see what further information I can find.
How about instead of aerosol spraying into the environment, you learn how to draw?
Thanks for that helpful comment Michele. If you watch the film you will see I say nothing beats drawing.
@@LizChadertonArt Meanwhile, you are recommending an aerosol, to folks that trust your advice.
@@michelemarchesani5139 The aim of this channel is to encourage people to paint and draw. Some people are not confident in their drawing skills, so I aim to show alternative tools to support their development. This is one such tool, along with tracing paper, carbon paper, gridding, light boxes, holding things to a window, using a computer screen, apps etc. People will always choose their own preference. And yes, I use aerosols in other areas of art, such as spray varnish and I would not hesitate to recommend if they are appropriate for the job.
@@LizChadertonArt Interesting vidoe, unlike some who hae commented here, I read the description and listened to your commentary. So many materials we use in art are harmful in some way we see warnings to wear masks or use products outside. It is up to the individual to look at a product and decide if it is right for them. Many people I hear bleeting on about the environment have a cupboard full of chemicals in their kitch cupboards. Please continue the good work informing and those with a brain will make informed decisions.
@@agardener3621 Thank you for your considered reply. Environmental and health considerations are a must, so I am taking away that I need to prioritise them in future product reviews. I try to offer information for people to make their own decisions and avoid ‘should and must’. Realistically the drive to the art shop or having the heating/air con on while painting does more damage than the art materials.
