<p>A system for sketching, illustrating, drawing or painting a likeness composition such as a canvas oil painting from a source image is described, and includes a set of graduated reusable overlayable source image grids (5) with subdivision indicators (40, 45) affixed to clear plastic sheets to be used with a corresponding destination canvas grid pattern, thereby allowing a consistent grid pattern for all canvas sizes. Such a system greatly simplifies the use of grids in producing artwork and provides a low-cost timesaving method to draw accurate shapes. The system includes a unique pre-gridded canvas (100) with a water soluble grid pattern that includes the image grid pattern, thereby facilitating the drawing of the source image onto the canvas (100) and simplifying the removal of the grid pattern after the drawing is completed and prior to painting. A method for imprinting the grid pattern onto the canvas (100), and a method for using the system of the present invention, are also disclosed.</p> |
