Yes! Nicely done. Illustrators have been doing this for a long time, but now the technology makes it so much more affordable and simple to set up.
Camera Lucida was used for a very very long time. And yet if you use a projector now you are almost a called a cheater
Thanks Leah, good luck with your Paint Party biz 🥰🐮
You are AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for this clear walk-thru. So helpful!
This is the best tutorial/projector use video I have found! Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I never thought to do this. Redrawing a sketch on canvas is very tedious sometimes.
So you're doing it the same way I started in the 1950s with an overhead projector. It doesn't get any easier than that.
I know! Sometimes you just have to stay with what works.
Yes! But this is far more versatile. I still have my big old heavy projector, but now space is limited when I travel in my 16-ft RV so I use this and the AuKing projector.
Leah, you are very clear and an excellent teacher!
thank you!
looks amazing! SO glad you love using it !!
Thank you so much. I have just been looking through all kinds of videos and tutorials trying to figure out what I could get that’s not too expensive and user-friendly. Yours was definitely the easiest and most affordable and useful to me. I appreciate this. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Not too expensive...look up plastic wrap transfer. TRace your image on plastic wrap then shine a light thru the plastic wrap and copy. Save a TON of money.
This was so helpful to me. Thank you 😊
Mind Blown 🤯 Thank you!
I need this in my life. I love painting but drawing not so much. This would make things so much better! Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
If you use it all the time, you will never learn to draw. You become a robort.
Thank you this is very helpful !
I have a big movie projector. I was thinking about using it to make abstract paintings. It is funny how the mind works. I had that idea years before I heard of using such a device to do that.
I haven't done it because of a lack of wall and storage space.
I just bought your whole setup. I have been trying to think of a way to transfer an image to my project, and literally, this video was a light bulb moment. Thanks for the idea. 😄
May I ask where did you buy the whole set and how much all together did you have tospend on it? ty
@@bettymarrone7386I just purchased it exactly like hers from Amazon. Got a $20 discount on the mount. It was around $315 for projector and mount. I’ve been saving up for it Lol I have depth perception issues and have trouble drawing to scale on canvas. I was using tracing paper but couldn’t do bigger images. Hoping this will alleviate a lot of that trouble.
Glad it was helpful!

GREAT video! I really needed this. Thanks so much.
You are so welcome!
THANK YOU!
how is the mount attached to the proyector?
Awesome. Thank you. I make original homemade cards and need to make multiples, so much better than tracing with graphite paper.
Thanks so,so much!!!
Superb
Awesome tutorial🤙Thanks for that🤙
Could be good for Reduction Linocut as well!
The Arkon mount link does not work at this time. It just takes you to the homescreen of Amazon. Could you please let us know what the make and model of your Akron mount is?
Here they are again.

Haw big the size of the canvas can do ?
Is this the Kodak Luma mini? Do you think this would work good on white painted rocks approximately 4” long?
Thx so much for posting. I’ve been looking for something to help me in getting image onto my rock vs. tracing paper
Where did you get the stand, that’s holding the projector?
How is the Arkon attached to the projector. Seems like a good set up for me.
May I ask , is that a standard projector ? Yes I see what type of projector it is now, thanks for upload.
Hola cordial saludos y bendiciones .
buena presentación de esa herramienta
vivo en Panama pero no se consigue aqui.
dónde lo puedo conseguir ? y Cuánto cuesta?
gracias.
When you move the image around up vertical or horizontal, are you using Kodak's software or just your basic iphone's image editor. I am on Android.
I do all of that on my phone. No software required.
Can the projector connect with your camera? Meaning you have your camera open on your phone facing some sort of scenery. Will it project a live image on to your canvas?
I see now theres mini projectors with laser light..probably good for projecting onto a wall for larger pics!😅Can you project it on te wall for 2' x 3' foot paintings?😅
What kind of stand are you using, and what brand?
Is it good for big size( min 1•1 m.) canvases?
I would love to check this up. Can u tell me parts to order?
Thanku for the tips pls help me with the tripod u have ?
Can my iPad be used with this KODAK device to trace onto my canvas?
Also can you tell me model number of Arkon projector holder hopefully it’s on Amazon. Thx a bunch
OH MY GAWD! IT'S JANICE!
Hey would this work if your sketch needed to be very small? Say you wanted to project onto a small door sign?
Vertical = Portrait, Horizontal = Landscape. Proyector great idea.
Proyector = projector. Don't you hate it when misspelling a word trashes your entire haughty comment?
@@twohandsandaradio it came out all wrong, I am trying to shake off the early IM lingo from the 90's. English is my third language. Peace.
I have been looking for this solution forever. Could you post a list of your hardware?
I have these two and they work great together.

What projector is it
Hi, and thank you for your guidance. I have one glitch: the image on my canvas is upside down.
Thanks for the video. What is the arm device thing you are using to hold the projector called and where to buy? thanks!

Hello, I know you have a Kodak 150 but do you think a Kodak 75 would be okay as well? I am trying to buy one but the Kodak 75 is almost half the price of Kodak 150. Do you have any experience with the cheaper one?
Thanks!
I’m not really sure. You could always try it and if it doesn’t work we’ll return it.
Leah, I purchased the Kodak Luma 150 based on your information about the quality of the projector. This projector is amazing regarding the clarity of the projected image and the "mirroring" from my Iphone. Also, I'm purchasing the Arkon Mount but not sure which one to buy allowing me the greatest distance from the 150 to the canvas. What have you found to be the approximate vertical distance say for a 11"x 14" canvas?
Wowsa!
This is the one I have. It works really well and if you need the image to appear bigger just turn your image to landscape if it’s not already. amzn.to/3uYcFfc
What model? The thing is I see the minimum screen size of 80", what's the name of the mount
• mini projector: amzn.to/3AF69IQ
• arkon mount amzn.to/340CsW
@@therusticeasel_ This link to the arkon mount doesn't work - any chance you would be able to share the model or an updated link? Thank you so much!
Where can I purchase this 6:04
How did you create a template In the phone?
Can you adjust the size image natively with the projector without moving the mount?
i have not found a way to do it from the actual projector.
Вы красивая 🥀💋
Where did you get that arm ?
The mount that i attached the projector to is called a Arkon Mount and its from Amazon.
I found the projector but need info on the Arkon Mount please.

What’s the model number for the camera mount. The link doesn’t connect to that item. I have purchased so many different camera mounts for projectors I could have a garage sale. I have three artograph mounts one is a floor stand and two table clamps. Just can’t seem to get the projector to line up on the mount on a tabletop to get the correct size for my paper. I like to work quite large. So it’s a challenge without projecting the image across the room to a wall (no room for that) to get the image alignment on a tabletop. In my search for a good projector mount (one with enough height for larger paper size) most have useless phone adapters. Or have a camera adapter as an afterthought. Very difficult to adjust these for vertical use. (I’ve already purchased 2 additional mounts) They don’t angle down enough, nor are they stable. The camera moves when adjusting the alignment. The one you show seems to give the correct alignment. Thanks for your response.
Hello, here is the link to the stand I have: a.co/d/669ZmtF
I wanna use this on cakes bc I suck at writing happy birthday
That’s what they do.
So you don't have to worry about focusing?
there is a little knob on the side to help focus if needed.
I just bought it and I freakin' LOVE it. Thank you for the suggestion. @@therusticeasel_
can i use this for rock painting?
I would think so but that's not something I have tried before.
Does anyone know if the image quality is good for smaller drawing ? I’m trying to project a image onto a small pair of jeans
While I haven’t done it, if you put the projekter closer the details should still be there just harder to get them all because of the size. Whereas if you choose a small image as to project you likely would lose details to because the quality would disappear in pixels if you blew it up to a larger size.
I base this on working on digital art and website development btw.
Is that a iPhone/iOS or an Android phone that you are using wirelessly?
I have a iPhone
@@paintingtutorials_ Thank you. I had purchased a AKASO WT50 Mini Pocket Pico Projector and had to return it. They promoted it as being Wi-Fi (wireless) compatible with the iPhone. It was not. It had to be connected hard wire.
Thanks again.
@@paintingtutorials_ Ha! You said in the beginning that you were using an iPhone…..dah.
What type of tripod is that?
its a Arkon mount
That's a great tutorial. Such excellent and clear delivery. I salute you, having answered many questions I have and now don't have to ask. One more I do have is just which model of the Arkon mount is that? I see there are just bunches and bunches and I want to make sure I get the one you have, as I already have the projector. If you can answer, that is great. In any case, thanks again for such an excellent form of information sharing.@@paintingtutorials_
@@paintingtutorials_what kind of arkon

How much watch time did you get from this video?
That mini projector is $250 bucks!!
$219.00 not bad. Does the price frightens you? If you work 9-5 and are happy fantastic. people will buy for hobby. rich people feel nothing in the pocket. Artists like me, is a necessity, a tool that will help you speed your art developing. Fine art using any tools can be difficult if you lack skill, but it can be acquired with practice and perseverance. I think this tool is good for trancing to later paint watercolor and/or oil.
Wait Till you see prices on professional projectors!
$300 for this set up? Are you nuts? If you need to trace just use tracing paper on an iPad and transfer it to your canvas with the graphite transfer paper method.
Way harder to do that. Regardless of price of set-up(some projectors are much cheaper), projector method is far better; especially for precise sizing to your canvas or wall.
I've been trying to do El Cheapo tracing methods lately and it is so frustrating and time-consuming. $300 is a bit steep for beginner tools imo, but time is money. Just because one method is free, doesn't mean it's quicker or easier. I'm going to keep researching drawing projectors to find something that works for me in my price range. The frustration and time-consumption of the El Cheapo methods I've been trying, have been holding me back from creating art.
