Transferring your image: 　There are several ways to do this, here are a few suggestions.

1)　　　 The most accurate, but involved method is to have a slide taken of your image and projected onto your canvas, which you would then trace with a fine tipped-water proof pen.　 For an even nicer surface, you could then varnish over your drawing with an Acrylic Matte Varnish.

2)　　　 Less accurate, but simpler, is to use an inexpensive opaque projector and trace your image using a 　water color or chalk pencil of a color that is dominate in your image, or a hard ("hb" or harder) charcoal pencil (NOT GRAPHITE).

3)　　　 If your image is relatively low in detail, or if you have the time, Free handing can be very rewarding (or frustrating).

4)　　　 Another method is to enlarge your image to the desired size using a copy machine, lay transfer paper against your canvas, the photo copy on top and trace the image.
