taintedplay Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I have a jpeg that I am wanting to paint on a 12x15ft canvas. I was thinking of doing like a grid system with 4 inch spaces between lines, and finding the distance from the lines on the jpeg to the edges of the canvas and then connect the dots. IE a dot 48 inch from top, 108 from left side which connects to a dot 4 inches down (size of grid) until i have an outline. Is there an easier way to do this?

ReMark Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Project the image onto the canvas and trace the outline or buy a large pantograph and trace the outline. You probably don't know what a pantograph is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taintedplay Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 i somehow didnt even think of a projector. That would be a ton easier, thanks for the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Plot multiple sheets tape to rear of canvas and backlight or like Remark project image on rear not front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
