You don't really need to do the tracing. Just put the transfer paper under the sketch then add, underneath the transfer paper, your watercolour paper; after that just draw over the original sketch. The pressure from the drawing will transfer the image onto the watercolour paper. If you don't want to have pencil on top of your original image, just use tracing paper to protect it. Either way, the image is transfered, you only have to trace once and the image is the right way round.
@@AtelierSandrineMaugy Is the cartridge paper what your original sketch is on or what you're trying to transfer the image to? I've just done the method mentioned above to transfer an image from a colouring book that I want to paint with gouache.
The cartridge paper is the drawing paper. Mine is quite thick because I also use it for colour tests. Also, I usually work out my composition (or at least tweak it) at the transferring stage, so the tracings are useful for that too :)
Oh I see, yes I understand, thank you for the reply. It's just that, this isn't a criticism by the way, older eyes do'n't always see black and white as easily as colour. I'm slowly developing cataracts (☹️) so colour is very important. It won't stop me watching your videos, I think you do lovely work. You have a lovely accent as well 😊
I am loving your videos thank you so much for posting them!
Instructive useful video as always. Love all your videos!
Excellent. Thank you.
Great video - always enjoyable!
Great video. Appreciate the tip about using a colored pencil so you know what you have transferred.

Is there some special reason why your video is in black and white? 😊
