Transferring printed image onto canvas

madma · 2013-12-09 23:48:11

Hi I'm looking to copy something onto a canvas as its a detailed image and using the grid method is not working. I'm wondering what Is the best thing is to use, would It be a type of carbon paper? Something that outlines it and sure can always go over it freehand. Thanks in advance

You can trace it with a charcoal pencil and then turn the page facing the canvas and then apply pressure equaly and the impression should be on the canvas.

I noticed that Dylon had a product that allowed you to copy an image onto fabric. Not exactly sure how it works but I think it would transfer an image to canvas too.
Could be that it would not give much detail. I just saw it in a stand in the local fabric shop and only gave it a quick glimpse. Looked interesting anyway.
