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!
