Transfer Your Photo to Canvas (Color Version): An Easy-to Follow Step-by-Step Guide for Novice Artists (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781790705047)

I developed a love of art and started doing illustrations by hand while attending Sinaloa Jr. High School in Simi Valley, California during the late 1960s, and I never stopped. In the mid-1980s I graduated with straight A's from Platt College in Pasadena, California in graphic design, and North Light Art School in fine art. This was just around the time graphic design with computer software was becoming popular. However, the school of graphic design I graduated from at Platt College was all done by hand. Some of the techniques I learned there like composition, illustration, paste-ups for camera-ready art, logo and stationery design, storyboards, and writing ad copy have carried me far as a scriptwriter, publisher, and producer through the years.
This book came about after my love for this technique inspired me to recreate it and modernize it for the public at large. My original title was, Transferring your Photo to Canvas, and it was a short article with no photos. I received great comments on my blog after publishing it. My success with the article inspired me to expand upon the work and produce it and publish it in eBook and paperback form. As the CEO, executive producer, and creative director of Heavenly Waterfall Productions I was inspired to showcase my idea using color photos and a layout like you see in print advertisement campaigns.
In 2015, I ran a Los Angeles wide casting call via Casting Networks as I do for all of my music, film, and TV casting needs. I found beautiful Australian actress/model Channel Marriott to play the role of the artist model in the production. At the time I had an office in the famous North Tower of the Warner Center in Woodland Hills, California so I rented one of their rooms to do the production in. I hired a make-up artist, a cameraman, and still photographer, Scott E. Petersen to shoot the photos and video of Chanel. I'm thrilled to bring this artistic eBook showcasing my creative drawing technique in a step-by-step guide format with accompanying photos before the world. I felt displaying the technique in this exclusive way will make it much easier for novice artists and craft enthusiasts to learn how to transfer their favorite photos to canvas to create original works of art.
What makes my technique unique is it also works when transferring your photo to other surfaces like clay, pottery, clothing, walls, and doors. The sky is the limit. Transfer Your Photo to Canvas: An Easy-to-Follow Step-by-Step Guide is a tracing, drawing, and rendering art technique designed for novice artists, children, students, mothers, fathers, scrapbooking, scriptwriters, book illustrators, or anyone that has a desire to draw and create something quickly using their favorite photos.
To date, I've spent literally hundreds of hours practicing and perfecting the technique for all my illustration needs including creating storyboards for my script and music video productions. A great way to learn to draw really well is to learn this fun, quick, drawing, tracing technique. Anyone can do it, and your drawings will look like you've spent years practicing sketching with your pencil.
