This transfer paper makes my life sooo much easier when it comes to transferring my drawings to a prepared wood panel. As the box says, you really can use a sheet many times (I've used one 8x0" sheet three times so far, without losing the quality of the traced drawing. The lines are super crisp, and you don't have to press ridiculously hard.My only issue is with the white transfer paper on dark backgrounds - you do have to be super, super careful about not smudging it, and some white particles do scatter/adhere to the surface. If you're painting the background, not an issue! But I like to leave the wood exposed for some paintings, so I have to be very careful in this situation because I can't just paint over smudges. In this situation, the lines also erase fine, ... MoreThis transfer paper makes my life sooo much easier when it comes to transferring my drawings to a prepared wood panel.

In this situation, the lines also erase fine, but removing eraser bits from the surface becomes tricky when you're trying not to smudge, and when you're using clear gesso (which is very gritty). If I were using white gesso I'm sure it would be easier. I'll try the graphite paper on dark surfaces next, with the hope that I can see the lines well enough on a dark surface, but also that smudges/bits of transfer pigment are not as easily seen.

It is nice to have a Yellow paint that is not too transparent, however the drawback of this color is that it is too watery. If you try to get good coverage in one layer, then it leaves ridges in the paint when dry; if you put it on so it is smooth and thin, then it doesn't cover what you want it to cover underneath. The Golden company either put too much water or too much thin hi flow medium in this product. It might be helpful to use this same specific color in the tube heavy body from Golden to attain better coverage.

This is a necessary 'dulling' color to make mixes look more realistic, so most Artists will use this in their mixes, if not alone as a boring brown. It is very effective color-wise at making realistic mixes. The problem I have with this specific color in the fluid acrylic form, is that the Golden company has either watered it down, OR has added too much hi flow medium to the product. It is nearly impossible to control the dispensing of this product because it does NOT come out at drop at a time, but a river of watery brown at one time. It gets all over the lid, cap, side of the lid and even onto the bottle each time you try to get out even a tiny amount. This is a color that might be more helpful to use in the tube heavy body form for your fluid mixes, as no one ... MoreThis is a necessary 'dulling' color to make mixes look more realistic, so most Artists will use this in their mixes, if not alone as a boring brown.
