The surface is smooth illustration board and the size is about 4x6. You can see an example of methods to transfer a drawing here: http://www.art-made-easy.com/transfer-an-image.html I remember you said earlier that you draw right on your Ivorine...my Ivorine doesn't cooperate with me so much. Painting in an underpainting of your values in acrylic like that can really help. Some artists paint brown and white like that too ...or sometimes more vibrant tones. For adding other references - I assume you mean more habitat? I just put grasses and things where it seems to be needed. Best, Rebecca Hi Pete,

Questions: surface? size? When you say transferred, what do you mean technically? I ask that because I do my drawings(for oils) right on the board or ivorine..then use fixative before applying washes, etc. I also attempt to do my values in the drawing as well....and for still lifes(fruit, etc) I will underpaint with white/black/shades of acrylic....very light smooth coats. You insights as how to add other references appreciated. Pete The painting lesson is awesome! Questions: surface? size? When you say transferred, what do you mean technically?
