The canvas was always "too small" in all my paintings. I paint loose not tight...if that makes sense. It is important to utilize a level when doing a large mural though. That's a mistake that newbies make. You cannot rely upon your eye to get it level especially if you're doing it professionally. Btw, the great master, Norman Rockwell, used a projector as well. As long as your projecting your art, not someone else's onto that wall, I would not consider it tracing. I wish you well in your endeavors.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228527598430179661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545575310349665352.post-91710474303796549812014-01-08T02:30:04.084-08:002014-01-08T02:30:04.084-08:00Oh wow!

I find it difficult/time consuming to proportionally get the size and scale of an image accurate w/out one. I usually project the image and trace the main outline of the shapes and then go in and do the rest adding things here and there. Hopefully soon i will just be able to draw straight on the wall like you!
