How do you take a tiny sketch and make a huge painting, without losing the liveliness of those first marks?
For me, the answer is:
Use an opaque projector.
Here, I have painted a background already, and I am tracing my drawing using white paint mixed with acrylic glazing fluid.
Why use white paint?
Mistakes can be simply erased with a clean, wet brush--paint wipes easily off a less-absorbent surface like this. The white paint is a better choice than black, since a white under-layer lets translucent colors shine more brightly when they are layered over it.
