  • How To Use The Grid Technique

    Mar 19, 2020


     

    The GRID TECHNIQUE is a simple way to transfer and/or enlarge an image onto another surface.

    View the video above to see the sequence of steps.

    • select a reference photo or sketch
    • using a ruler or a t-square, create a one inch grid on top of either the photo or a separate piece of tracing paper that can be re-used.
    • label the boxes with numbers across the top and letters down the sides to make it easy to keep track of the separate boxes
    • create another grid on your final painting surface. This can be done with ANY size boxes. I used a 1.5" grid on the watercolor board in the video and a 1" grid on the tracing paper.
    • slowly, draw whatever you see in box A1 into the A1 box on the final surface
    • continue to draw A2, A3, A4 etc. until the entire drawing is enlarged on the final surface

    You will have a perfectly proportioned image transferred and ready for painting or drawing!
