"Now what we have done is we have an outline that we are going to be working from and I have got some special made gray tracing paper. It is covered with a graphite that is gray so when I press on this and create an outline it will transfer right into and onto the paper. I am using watercolor paper because it will handle watercolor a lot better than just drawing paper. Now this especially made art transfer paper it is not carbon paper used for typing so if you do make a mistake you can erase the gray transfer and before we lift it completely off we want to lift it to make sure that we transferred everything we want. I don't press real hard because I don't like big lines on my watercolors. Some people do it is just a matter of taste. So there it is it is barely there and it is exactly like I want it."
