- Ok guys, I'm pretty excited about this one. I figured this out a few months ago and I wanted to try it a few times to make sure it didn't mess anything up before sharing it with you. I have tried it on multiple surfaces and seems to work great every time!
Watch the video all the way to the end. It's like magic! For each of my tutorials I provide a line drawing for my students to trace to follow along with the videos. When you use the graphite transfer paper to trace the image, it makes a mess no matter what you do. This cleans it up in seconds!

There are many brands of transfer paper out there and I have tried dozens, this is BY FAR my favorite.
Kneaded Rubber Eraser: amzn.to/3sZQ40P
Remember do not rub these like a normal eraser, just blot with them.
Scotch-Brite Lint Roller: amzn.to/3PKSvwT
I have not tried other brands of lint rollers, so I don't know if other brands might be too sticky or not sticky enough or might damage the paper, but this kind was perfect! - Jak na to + styl
This might be one of the best tips I’ve heard in years!! Thanks for sharing!
This tip is not that great. Refer to my comments on the video for a better way to use transfer paper.
GUUUUUURRRLLL !!! Shut the front door !! 😳😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯🤯🥳🥳🥳🥳
Yay! I'm going to do this. Thank you.
That lint roller hack should be a short video! What a great trick.
The lint roller hack is entirely unnecessary. They make transfer paper that doesn't smudge or leave excess graphite on the paper. Just get the right product and you won't need any hacks.
This is a life saver
BRAVO et MERCI pour le truc ! I live in Québec .🎨🎨🎨❤💯
This is genius!!! Bravo Lynn!! Thank you so much for sharing this. I can't wait to try it.
This is far from genius. Refer to my comments on the video for a much better way to use transfer paper.
you're a genius
Wow. Actually very helpful.
Previously struggled a lot with getting rid of excess graphite without damaging the paper/canvas.
I'm not always patient/careful enough. So this trick will actually help me a lot.

What are they called and what brand are they? Which one you use daily?? Be specific.
I don't live in the US, so i will need to order.
If you don't have an answer, I would guess your comment is bullshit...

Great idea, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video 😊 i often find that the graphite smudges are too dark and more difficult to remove. . Any suggestions would be appreciated 😊
Secondly, DO NOT use a full size sheet of transfer paper. Cut a small rectangle of the transfer paper, say 4" x 6", and your hand won't rest on the transfer paper causing the smudging you're working so hard to erase. You just move the transfer paper around to accommodate the area you're tracing. No smudging or extra graphite. Saves on the cost of the transfer paper also.
This method is way more complicated than it needs to be. Just buy the right transfer paper to start with. Jack Richeson & Co makes a transfer paper that doesn't smudge or leave extra graphite on the watercolor paper. No need to use an eraser or anything else to clean up the paper.
Beautiful awesome work💖💞❤💞💝💖💞❤💞👏💛👏👏💞💖💛❤💞💖💛❤💞❤❤💞❤💞👏💞💞
Or you could just buy a cheap LED light box and trace it straight onto your watercolour paper with a 2 or 4H pencil. Its way cheaper than buying saran, which is horribly expensive if you don't live in the USA. I have an A3 light box that cost less than a roll of saran. Blue tac also works as well as a kneedable eraser and if you don't have either, or a lint roller, wrap some sticky tape around a couple of fingers with the sticky side outermost and use that to dab excess graphite off. You can use any of these methods to lighten a drawing or tracing, however you transfer it. I do it on the sketching I do on canvasses when I paint in oils. Once I've lightened the sketch, I seal the canvas with a light coat of gesso to lighten it even further and make sure no graphite from the pencil bleeds through into the oil paint.
When you are using 300 pound watercolor paper, you cannot see through it Good enough for the light box to trace on it.
@@LynnDPratt There's not too many of us that can afford 300lb watercolour paper. I doubt anyone needing watercolour tutorials is going to waste that sort of money just to learn on.
Even my cheap watercolor paper is 300 lb so every tip helps. Thanks for your tips, too.
