Imagine how your skills will improve as you no longer worry about making a painting mistake that will ruin your carefully and painstakingly drawn sketch - with an opaque projector you can sketch and re-sketch your image in minutes giving you confidence to paint more boldly.

Lightboxes to backlight pictures, patterns, designs and photographs for tracing, scrapbooking, embossing and stenciling.


How to Paint Successful Pictures....

The sketch is a fundamental element to a successful painting so why leave this essential task to chance when using photos and other images as reference? An inaccurate sketch makes for an unsuccessful painting, here's how to be sure your paintings start out with a strong sketch...

Painting from photos is something all artists do but often it is the source of much frustration - a process that sometimes takes many hours. Most of this time is the preparation - drawing the subject in perspective, proportion or the correct scale; but the creative part of art - the painting - is what artists enjoy most.

Doesn't it make sense to complete the drawing as quickly and as accurately as possible so you can get on and enjoy the creative painting? Now you can.

Enlarging your photos to almost any size and drawing them accurately in minutes leaves you to set your creativity free and enjoy painting.

Enlarging photos with a Kopykake projector is simple. Just put your original image into the projector, raise the projector head on its stand to enlarge to your desired size, focus the image and then outline it comfortably as you work at your drawing table.
Using a projector will let you get your image down in minutes instead of hours any other method would take.

Today's Replacement for the Camera Obscura:

Norman Rockwell used a projector...
Carvaggio and peers using the camera obscura to start an artistic revolution.

In 1947, the founders of Artograph revolutionized the method of projecting an image with the development of the first Artograph projector. Originally called the "Kouba Lucy," it was designed by the renowned Midwest wildlife artist, Les Kouba. Les and partners Seymour Pederson, John Engel and Ed Hirschoff, built his very first projector from items scavenged from a junk shop - a garage door track, assorted car parts, a bellows and some plywood. The outstanding response to this projector set in motion the direction of the company.

By those standards, we are fortunate to have the many image transfer devices manufactured today. From budget-priced projection systems and small light boxes to large, more sophisticated units, there is a product to meet every creative need.

Artograph's full-line of art projectors, light boxes and spray booths have a long-held reputation of high quality workmanship and design. Each product has been uniquely designed to fuel your imagination, while aiding in the creative process. We have continually watched and listened while customers likeyou have created.

MORE TIPS ON ARTISTS' OPAQUE PROJECTORS & LIGHTBOXES

Common Opaque Projector Uses
What do artists use opaque projectors for?
Opaque projectors are used by painters to transfer images. Painters can place a sketch or photo on an opaque projector and the picture is then projected onto their canvas or wall. Opaque projectors are one way in which artists can take a small picture and make it larger while maintaining the proportion and perspective of the original.

Prolong Opaque Projector Use
How long can I keep an image under an opaque projector?
You should be aware that opaque projectors have brighter bulbs than overhead projectors. You should never leave your materials in the projectors for too long or they can be damaged by the heat. To protect your images and materials you should turn off the projector periodically and allow it to cool down.

Saving Time With Opaque Projectors and LightBoxes
Do opaque projectors really save artists time?
Light boxes or opaque projectors are a great tool for an artist who is looking to repeat their designs throughout a surface or garment. Being able to move the image around in the opaque projector, doubling the image up or moving the projector itself can save an artist countless hours of time.
