Dear Helen,
Can you advise me? I have a light box and would like to place watercolour paper over pen drawings on cartridge-like paper below, and to then paint (watercolour) within those lines. The problem is I can’t see the lines below through my paper even when it’s thinner. Is my light box not good enough!? Or is there a trick I’m not aware of?

Hi Sheena,
Thanks for your question. Good news, yes there is a trick!
But first let’s start with the basics.
What is a light box?
It’s a big flat plastic box full of light, lined with some sort of filter, like tracing paper, to dissipate the light (aren’t you lucky, I am a tech wizard AND a master of language!)
