Steps:
1. Using the 1” wash brush basecoat two of the canvas in Black and one in White.
2. Lay tracing paper over pattern and trace all lines except those used to denote shadows.
The shadow lines are generally short straight lines and several of them. Main lines are
where there are color changes. Detail lines are facial features, patterns on fabric, and etc.
Lay tracing on surface and tape at top and on one side. Slide graphite paper between
tracing and surface with the dark side down; draw over the main lines only. Do not add
the detail lines these will be applied after the basecoating is done.
3. Apply pattern using white transfer paper on black canvas and black transfer paper on
white canvas.

on white.
5. Using the #1 liner basecoat all of the stems using white on black and black on white.
