Saving and Editing Working Images Used in Our Oil Painting Videos

Saving and editing working images is essential to create reference images for all your reproductions. We’ve provided a tutorial on making your oil painting sketch, underpainting, grisaille, and grid reference images. This technique ensures that your photos match any canvas size and seamlessly integrate with iPads or laptops, providing an excellent reference resource for your oil painting reproductions or originals.

How To Use Working Images

When working with saving and editing images, you can transfer them to an iPad or laptop. You can transfer the image by using a proportional divider, a grid system, and the working image. Additionally, you can resize the image on the iPad to match the grid lines with the canvas, making the transfer even more accessible. Paint Reproductions uses Photoshop and an iPad, but other software applications and devices could be used. Visit Paintreproductions.com to learn how using certain filters, you can modify the original image in browns. This is easy to follow when underpainting or sketching with oil paint. You can also find out how to create a working image in black and white to assist in developing detailed grisaille paintings like in our Reproduction of “The Milkmaid” by Vermeer.
