Transfering the Cartoon
When the preliminary studies are done, the drawing must be carried out on the panel. If a full-sized cartoon has been made [and it is certainly advisable for the beginner] the outlines may be taken off on tracing paper and transferred to the panel. Do not use carbon paper for this purpose, but rub the back of the tracing lightly with soft pencil, or with a little red ocher in powder. [Carbon paper usually contains soluble dyes, which "bleed through" any painting that you do over the marks it makes.] [p. 48]
