Here you see a piece of tracing paper that also shows the application of the same color paint as previously used to coat the canvas. Remember, the canvas is now a little lighter because it was wiped down to a medium value. I apply the paint with the pallet knife in the same manner but now I use a soft brush to spread it. If too much paint is left on this tracing paper there will be smudges and spots of paint all over the sketch. It takes a little practice to get it right. In the next photo you will see how I place this paint side down and trace the image onto the canvas.
