A Handy Light Box

I am working on a very detailed graphite drawing that I will soon need to transfer to my watercolor paper.  This handy dandy light box will prove to be invaluable.  The thick watercolor paper I use (so I don’t need to stretch it) becomes as transparent as tissue paper when I lay it over my drawing on the light box.  Technology–gotta love it!

This light box is only 3/4″ thick and comes with a nice velvety storage bag.  You can get them in several sizes but I thought 12″ x 17″ would serve my purposes best. It uses a halogen light bulb so should last many years.

Btw, I found mine way cheaper than the manufacturer’s suggested price because of a special deal at Jerry’s Artarama.
