I googled how to enlarge and project onto canvas without a projector and it led me to you! This is the exact low tech solution I was looking for! 🎉 Thank you for this video!

Out of all the methods I’ve seen this is the most clever one! Trying it out today.

Very much like the old masters used to do. You have brought a very affordable way for anyone to enlarge an image. I use a projector, but I am lucky to have one. This is so nice for those who want to enlarge images.

The whole process is an art by itself 😂

You're a bloody genius! Thank you! x

I was looking at buying a projector, but definitely going to give this a go - thank you Emma! I have lost my confidence with freehand drawing, so this is very useful for me.

Ingenious! Thank you for sharing, you’re saving people hundreds of dollars on a projector 💚💚💚 thank you immensely! May you receive prosperity, wealth and large sums of money everywhere you go. Happy Holidays, Emma!

I want to salute you for your ideas that are creative and helpful to many people.

Brilliant!! I am a silk painter and I frequently need to enlarge my drawings to the proportion of the canvas I will be mounting my silkpainting on (photo>tracing>enlargement). This is by far the simplest, easiest, and cheapest means I have seen of doing that! Thank you for saving me $ on a fancy projector:))))

You are a life saver!! I am making a display at work (Lowes) for the christmas tree tent area. I needed to project an image onto a fence panel so I could paint it on there. Our projector is missing and to rent one for a 20 minute job was crazy. I have tried some other methods and they didn't work. THIS WAS PERFECT!! I can't thank you enough for making this video!!

This is awesome. I've been asked to do a human portrait. Animals are my specialty. Given the fact that the family member knows exactly what the loved ones looks like, there is no margin for error. This is brilliant.

My Dear Friend! My overhead projector fell and stopped working. I have been searching all morning for a work around. After tedious DIYs, apps that are bogus, and a great deal of frustration, I found your video! From one artist to another, much thanks!🤗💜

This deserves waaaay more views

Simple and effective, I love the home made recycled cost free nature of your projector. Thanks for posting!

This really saved me spending so much money for an enlarger! I’ve been admiring the large canvas paintings of a dogs face on a large canvas in my vets office. I’m definitely going to use this method to Wow the friends

So creative. I was looking for a projector and never in my wildest dreams would have come up with this. Good to know.

That's an ingenious approach, I'm impressed. You have me thinking now about how to make a version with up to a 24x36 inch canvas horizontally on a table with an Anglepoise or clip lamp so i don't have to crawl about on the floor with my bad back.

Very smart idea, no projector ,no high expense. Ingenious, thanks for the tip.

I saw this last month. Now i want, i was searching about a week for this video..❤️ Finally i got, and followed. The best one..✌️😊

This is such a great idea! I think I’ve heard of it before, but you explained it all so well. I trace a LOT, using carbon paper or just laying down a lot of graphite or color pencil on the back of the photo or image, bc I just don’t want to take forever before I can even start painting… the drudgery of erasing, drawing, adjusting, erasing, again, and on and on before I can even get get going with the best part. Thanks so much!

I've watched multiple transfer videos! This is my favorite! Can't wait to try!

Thank you for the no BS presentation. Well done

Thank you so much. This is incredible! Other ideas I've seen with cardboard are quite involved, so I don't bother. Yours is so simple and works. Thanks again.

That is just so cool!!!! I've been using grids for yrs, but feel I must try this. Thank you!

Brilliant. This is what I was looking for. Thank You.

0:48 Same Approach and Problems here! Thank you for this Video!

Wow!! This is great!! Simple but very clever! Thank you!

This is brilliant! You legit made a DIY projector. I remember using overhead projectors in school back in the day. Thank you.

I’m not an artist. First trying to do something for my son. It worked so well!! It kind of made me look like a professional. Thank you!

You're an angel!! I had an art project to do for school and this helped immensely!! Thank you sooo much 💕🎇

This is so easy and SMART. Thanks for sharing this!! ❤️👍

I need to save this process for my digital work! Thank you! Could be a huge game changer for me! I was actually looking for a completely different method to transfer my digital work to canvas when I found your method!

THIS IS SO CLEVER and I love that its everything you can do just from stuff at home!!

Excellent tutorial Emma. I will definitely be following these instructions. Well done.

Excellent video! Camera Obscura, Camera Lucida and now we have Camera Emma. Old school projector. Thank you for this. The art to this is approaching it from the right angle so to not obscure your lines. That's a challenge. thank you for this!

You just saved my money I was going to spend on projector 🥰

So simple and so effective. Well done.

Thank you! This is exactly what I've been looking for.

Oh my god you saved me so much frustration i was trying to do it the grid way with no luck at all 😂 many thanks

Brilliant! I've been struggling for hours this week, trying to get an image on a large canvas; I'm pretty picking about sizing. I was looking at expensive (and bulky) projectors; this is easy, quick and don't take up any storage room. THANKS!

Wow... very wonderful and amazing metode, I love it. Thank you for the tutorial.

Omg...wow! That is a neat idea. Thanks for sharing.

Love it, great idea and well demonstrated

Thank you so much. I absolutely enjoyed it.

Thank you! I'm always trying to find ways to do art for cheaper! Speaking of, read below for alternative canvas idea where a 2ft×3ft size is about $10!No link, just name of item to buy. A few years back, I saw interesting fabric on sale at random store. It turns out it was meant for making bread & bought it for baker friend. They said they don't use this so I kept it. It's called: " PROOFING CLOTH " or " BAKERS COUCHE ". This is REAL LINEN. Linen is made out of FLAX PLANT. It's a thick, tight woven fabric. When I felt it and inspected closer, it looked like what a canvas looks like. This thing is 2 ftX3ft long, and it was less than 10$!!! You CAN buy linen canvasses for art, but that same big size would cost 50 or 60$ in an art store. But as a baking item, super cheap despite being same thing. You can find on temu, wish, amazon etc... some as low as 3$ It comes folded so there's creases, but you have options to flatten: 1) mist lightly after laying flat on surface and place heavy objects on creases and edges after pulling edges out. Leave for a few days till dried. ( you may have to repeat) 2) USE AN IRON. This is natural fabric, so you can use your iron on low, using the steaming mode ( don't iron fabric that's dry). If you have basic iron with no steaming mode, mist the fabric yourself with bottle and use iron. Be patient, low and slow. Use force and slowlybwuggke back and forth to work crease out. . So, fellow artists! Try it out. You will need gesso if you want a smoother surface. This is great for painting. Now, it doesn't have a frame behind it like canvasses. But you can still hang it in wall as is or frame yourself if you wanted to. If you wanted tonuse heavy paint mediums like mideling paste or gel mediums, you will need to frame fabric so it can support the weight. I hope, to those still reading, that you at least try this once if you're an artist on a budget. It's NOT white. It's a light tan due to natural hue of the plant its made from. But this is great for acrylic and oil painting. If you have watercolor ground, you can use that to use your watercolors on it too. I'll be recording my first proofing cloth project starting April 16th, if anyone wants to check out how it works. You can watch me fogure out how to work with it for the first time ( after LOTS of research!) If you're unsure before buying and want to Google more about it, you get more informative results by googling " painting on linen canvass", instead of googling " painting on proofing cloth". Apparently, not that many people have discovered that linen canvas and proofing cloth same thing. Happy frugal arting, folks!

Wow, that's so cool! Thanks for sharing. ♥️
