In a recent post I discussed the various methods I use to transfer my original drawings to my canvas. The technique which drew the most attention was the "oil transfer," in which the outline of the drawing is transmitted to the working service using a transfer sheet coated in oil paint. The result is a good copy, which does not run nor muddy the next layer of paint, and is as permanent as if it had been painted directly with a fine brush.
Shortly after my post, artist David Gray, posted an online video showing his process for doing the oil transfer. I have included it below (along with some still images), but if you have not yet seen his videos, take the time to visit YouTube and watch all of his tutorials which he has so generously shared on his personal channel. You can also visit his website at www.davidgrayart.com, where you can see more examples of his artwork, and check out his upcoming workshops to see if his next class will be in your area.
