Carta Lucida: Three Ways to Make Transparent Tracing Paper (Cennini, c. 1400)

Cennino Cennini's carta lucida, the painter's see-through paper for copying a master's outlines: parchment scraped almost to nothing and oiled, a thin sheet of glue cast on a greased stone, or thin white paper soaked with linseed oil.

"If you need this transparent paper, and cannot find it ready made, make it in the following manner."

Mode 1: scraped parchment

Have a parchment skin scraped evenly until it scarcely holds together; it is transparent by itself. For more clarity rub it over with very clear, fine linseed oil on a piece of cotton and let it dry for several days.

Mode 2: cast the sheet

Grease a clean, well-polished stone slab (he used marble or porphyry) with olive oil. When the glue is cool, brush it all over the slab. When dry, lift an edge with a knife point and peel the skin off by hand like a sheet of paper. For a very clear sheet, before lifting go over it once with boiled linseed oil and a soft brush and let it dry two or three days.

Use it

Lay the transparent paper over the figure, fix it lightly at the four corners with a little red or green wax, and trace the outlines with ink and a fine pen or a small squirrel-hair brush. Lift it off and touch in lights and shadows as you like.

History and honest limits

From Cennino Cennini, **Il Libro dell'Arte** (c. 1400), tr. Christiana J. Herringham, **The Book of the Art of Cennino Cennini** (1899), chaps. 23-26 (checked on the archive.org scan bookartcenninoc01herrgoog, pp. 19-21). He gives no glue weights beyond six pieces to a porringer; the tool heads are ours.
