Hand Painting
Is there a simple way of projecting a computer image onto canvas to be traced by hand prior to painting?
That is without using photographic slides and using a projector and to be able to vary the size for quite large canvases!
There are several options
1) use a video projector. They are much cheaper nowadays and you may be able to borrow one from a friend or from work. Connect up your computer (or bring your file with you on a disk/USB key etc. if using a fixed one at work), pin up your canvas and trace over the design.
2) there are LCD panels that are designed to sit on an OHP (over head projector, the old kind that you used clear plastic sheets on and wrote on with pen), do the same as for #1
3) print off your design onto OHP film (available from all good stationery stores) and pin that over the canvas (or if the canvas is thin enough, behind the canvas and shine a bright light through from behind so you can trace it.
4) Get an inkjet t-shirt printing kit (special paper) which is only a few pounds. Print out your image (in reverse) onto the special paper, then iron on the design to your canvas. If you need an image bigger than A4, print out a zoomed up image onto more than one page.
5) Use tracing paper and a soft (blunt!) pencil and trace the diagram off the screen onto the tracing paper and then transfer that image to your canvas
6) place your monitor so the screen is horizontal (pointing straight up) and do the same with your canvas, and then use a pantograph to copy from one to the other. Pantographs are available in all good art stores and some bigger stationery stores (and some toy shops!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantograph
