How do you get from photo to canvas?
I'm curious how you get your work from photo to canvas. A method used by painters of old was to do a sketch, and use a method called "squaring up" to transfer it from sketch pad to canvas.
Squaring up (it may have other names) is a process of drawing a grid across the sketch and drawing a larger (but same proportion) grid on the canvas, and then drawing in each square on the canvas the thing that is in that square on the sketch. (Fear I haven't said that well. Is everyone confused?)
When working from photos, this is a method I often use. I was wondering if anyone has a better system.
