Hi,
I am painting large work on canvas and would like to buy a projector that can project a 4 x 6 or a 8 x 10 photo onto the canvas.
Can that be done off a photo or do I have to convert the photo into a slide?
Which one do you recommend? How far away from the wall does it have to stand in order to project that big or bigger?
Do I have to paint at night with just the projector light on? How well does it project colors and shades of colors?
Thanks
Helen

Hello Helen,

Our Artists' Opaque Projectors work from a photo or any image. (No need for slides.)

They generally work better in dimmed lighting. However, the higher-end ones will work in light too.

They all can handle a 4x6.
The Kobra can handle a 8.5x11. Otherwise, do portions of the photo at a time.

The more high-end that yoy go, the more sharper and color correct is the projected image.

Look for horizontal projecting (as opossed to overhead.) You stand a few feet away, depending on the size of the projection required.
