HOW TO TRANSFER A DRAWING TO ANOTHER PAPER - 3 options!

How do you transfer a drawing to watercolor paper? In this video, I share 3 ways to make that happen.

Repeated erasing on watercolor paper can cause the surface of the paper to disintegrate in a way that makes it very difficult or impossible to work with. That is why it is better to finalize your sketch elsewhere... But then how do you transfer the drawing to another paper, your watercolor paper? I will show you three of my favorite ways to do so, ranging from low budget to needing a significant investment, and share the pros ➕ and cons ➖ of each method.
