This was super helpful! It has been 20yrs since I last took art instruction or did any kind of serious artistic works, and I had totally forgotten that "carbon papers" as we called them back then still existed! So far since coming back to art I've just been free-handing when I transfer pieces, and while that's a great skill, it doesn't match the ease or precision of actually using the right tools to transfer images to canvas. (also, my gosh! lightboxes have gotten small and thin in 20yrs!!!)
