Painting Templates – 100+ Free Downloadable Traceables
Welcome To My Traceable Library!
Print out these painting template traceables and transfer them to your canvas so you do not have to worry about the drawing aspect of painting!
Need more information about how to use these traceables? Check out my reference guide here.
I recommend you use a sheet of graphite paper to transfer these to your canvas. You can also use a regular pencil, scribble on the back of the paper and then trace it over your canvas.
Do you need to resize the traceable?
Try out Rapid Resizer (affiliate link) for resizing traceables to any canvas size. I personally use this software and LOVE it! It is a game changer as far as resizing anything to any canvas size. I also use it to create traceables!

Thank you for sharing! We are having a remote painting party for my 5 year old’s birthday with cousins. I am able to give each family a variety of pictures to choose from! They will love it!
Thank you for these tutorials and printables. Painting is something I’ve always wanted to try. Our recent snow storms here in North Mississippi kept me inside a week and I’ve done several of yours. So much fun and very relaxing.
You’re welcome!
Hi, there I hope this finds you doing well and healthy. I am currently going to college, and the person that has been doing our painting will be leaving after the spring term, and she also does them online. I enjoyed watching you do the St. Patricks day Knome. I have found this new hobby to be very relaxing, and it sure helps after a day of classes and after homework to help you destress. I am going to school to be an RN and then want to continue for my BSN. Thank you so much for the tracers. Doing this brings me a lot of joy. Thank you, and I just might be purchasing some other tracers I saw that you had available as well. I am in PA and am going to Reading Area Community College, and I enjoy it, and this is something that I have felt for a while to be an RN. It is hard to explain, but I know it is the right avenue for me. Thanks again. Phil Grim III

Thank you so much for saving my life. I’ve been very depressed, and my friend told me about your web page. I discovered that I could paint very well. I love all of your paintings. So now I have a way to reduce my depression, I paint. my depression is getting better and my family sees me getting better every week.
So thank you
