I bought a canvas and wanted to try painting, I need to sketch first but I have heard that it was extremely hard to erase, what could I use that would be able to erase perfectly? Something cheap perferably.
Thanks

personally, I think seeing the artist's process, such as lines, lines redrawn, etc. add to the end painting.

There is no problem unless the pencil [graphite] is extremely heavy. If this is a problem then use turps. to lightly erase the lines but only if you are using oil. With acrylic, work lightly with the pencil, the acrylic will cover and seal. If you are sketching onto the canvas it is better to use a wash of acrylic or thin oil and a No.4 sable brush. Use it like a pencil, you may find that it frees up your sketching technique.

They have a white clay-type of erasor for pastels, works great for lifting lead off the canvas
That's why they make # 3's sketch pencils

Use an art gum eraser. You might also consider doing your initial sketches with a draftsman's blue pencil.

If you paint with oil colors your pencil drawing will be covered by the paint. I dont think that you will need to erase them. But, if you should erase tham anyway, you'd better use softer pencils... By the way, they are not expensive:)

Make the sketch on paper working out the composition and harder elements of the subject. Tranfer to canvas what you learned from drawing the sketch using a thin wash of burnt umber, referring back to he drawing and real-life subject if available, as needed, to finalize the preliminary painting. Make any corrections with paint as you go along and don't be afraid of mistakes...they may lead to a better interpretation.

Just sketch really lightly and it will be ok to paint over it, I do it all the time, and I paint with arcrylic.

If you prefer to erase it, than use a gum, white eraser... its almost like clay; it works really really good.
Otherwise you can just paint over it... =) Good luck!!
