How do I use an overhead projector to paint a muraal project I mean a drawing on a wall? I want to paint a mural. I want to know how other artists have used a projector to project overhedad their picture on a wall.
I used a transparency to blow up a drawing about 4'x4 '. I wanted to transfer photos onto butcher paper, so I hung the paper on the wall and just start tracing. Then color it later, after I took it on the wall. It worked very well.
To make your art print larger, you must move the projector farther back from the wall to ensure there is room. Also, I do not know what type of projector you are using, but mine has a surface that has been squared. So if you want a wall rectangular, you must either reduce your drawing to fill the screen, or cut into segments and each segment does separately.
Another thing, my projector does not have a strong light, if the whole plot, I had to have the low ambient light. The more you make your mural, which means that further away from your projector, you will begin to lose definition online. It is preferable to make your follow-up in the dark.
if u want to paint on the projection screen projector as teaching = clear / sand / etc.
if u mean just to show something already painted, you can go as Office Depot or something and they'll print a photo image on a projection screen clear and you can use it on the projector
Using an overhead projector is very limiting. In general, you can not move the projector back far enough to get the right size. The best way to do this is by design that you will use to make the mural and off the grid in blocks which are translated into one of hoofs on the wall. You can then call each block one at a time just to get the detail you need to keep drawing in proportion to the original image smaller.
consider this as an example;
