Stunning work Jason! Thanks for sharing this! Silly question having seen it - but how exactly do you transfer the drawing? (do you cover the back in graphite / charcoal)? May the force be with you young Seiler!

Well, Mister, I'm very impressed...

Thank you for sharing all these but same question ; what's exactly this way to transfer your first sketch on your paper ? (if you dare sharing all your secrets with some french drawers too...)

Thank you for everything, anyway.

Thank you so much everyone, I'm really glad you all liked it! The video was filmed by my friend Nathan, he edited it, put the music and everything all on his own . . . then surprised me with it! I think he did a great job!

As for how I transfer my images to the canvas . . . besides using the force, which I highly reccomend . . . . . . . . . I use old typewriter paper, the black on the back transers quite well . . . then I just beguin painting. The nice thing is that I can re-use the typewriter paper over and over again, I'm not sure if they make it anymore. It was given to me as a gift and I've made use of it ever since.

Well, thanks a lot, Mister Seiler.
So simple that I couldn't think of it.

The Force, the old typewriter paper AND ... your talent, of course.

I'm a great fan.

Have a nice day.

To anyone who can't find typewriter paper, Saral makes a transfer paper that's works really well and is reuseable. Make sure u look at the color before buying though. White is kind of useless.

A pleasure to watch! I've never seen one of those sticks you use to keep your hand off the canvas. What's that white thing at the end of it? Can you buy those, or did you make it?

When I used the stuff once upon a time, it was called _carbon paper_. It was easier to find in office supply stores than art stores, although these days anything is possible (since nobody actually TYPES anymore).

You can fake it by rubbing powdered graphite into a sheet of paper to use instead. Lay the graphite side against the painting surface, lay the sketch onto that, and burnish away.

Great work, by the way, and a really fun video. Well done! And yeah, Empire is one of the best soundtracks of the last thirty years, hands down.

Dan, the stick thing is called a painting mahl. I use it to lay over my painting so I can steady my hand and paint in details. They cost about $30 in stores . . . I made mine for about $2, just bought a rod from ACE and some make up pads from the grocery store, then duct taped it to the top and put another pad over the padded duct tape . . . cheap and works perfectly!

Thanks again everyone, really glad you enjoyed it!

do you do this all in one run, or do you dry the layers in between?

Willz,

The George Lucas was done in layers . . . usually I paint wet into wet.

Jason, very nice work. I enjoyed seeing the process. One picky little question though. Do you always work with a lamp on the right side or was that more for camera lighting? I used to have the lamp on my right and my hand would cast a shadow onto what I was painting. Finally a buddy asked why the hell I was doing that. Anyway, fantastic stuff, keep it up.
