Quick Tip 239 - Using the Prospek 

Thank you for this great tip ! I’ve using one it works great for portraits. Ears eyes. Those dang noses. 👃great for angles too.

OH I FOUND YOU!! I still have the same prospek tool from 1993 when I took lessons in your studio!! I will be sharing thus with my sister who has the drawing and painting bug. 💕

Thanks for such an extremely helpful video!

We have three different spellings of prospeck on here, so thank you autocorrect. :)

So interesting! Thank you!

Thank you so much Dianne

Thank you!

Can you do a shot video on the golden proportional ruler. its a little confusing to me

Thank you for always teaching such practical stuff. I have one of these but didn't realize all the ways you can use it.

Could you let me know what proportions are designated for which hole in the tool? Ex: 1st hole near short end is thirds? 3rd hole is half? Thank you! Love your videos.

It’s also called a “proportional divider” :)

thank you ma'am, I'm learning about interesting tools from your vids :)

One of the best tools we sell and I personally use. It makes life so much easier!!

I really find proportions challenging. Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is exactly what I needed!! 🙂🙂🙂

Thank you, now I know how to use it. I will buy it soon. And enjoyed your class, have a fantastic day. 😄

Good job, Dianne, in explaining this useful tool. It's really been a help to me as well!

I have never grasped the idea of the pencil and thumb. I’m so excited to use this tool! Thank you for showing me how to use it.

Thank you for a wonderful tutorial. I have a tool like that and your video helped me understand how to use it. Thanks!

I loooooooooove your videos! You are not only a great teacher, but you also remind me of a teacher who changed my life. Thank you! Please know that you are highly appreciated by your followers. May you always be blessed!

proportional divider is what i know it by- there are metal ones used in mechanical drawing wit a screw to tighten it so it does not slip when transfering measurements they also have scales inscribed to see the proportions also used for live measurements

should your drawing board be straight or at a 45 degree angle when drawing and using Prospek Divider?

I have a big one by Dervent. I use it for drawing or painting straight lines, checking angles and proportions. It has blunt ends, so I feel quite safe around it :)

Thanks. Very informative indeed.

So well explained! Thank you.

Great quick tip Dianne. I use my prospek a lot. It’s a very handy measurement tool. I find I use it mostly for angles lately. Highly useful

Thank you for the tips. Maybe you have time to do something more about "abstract painting". Thant would be great.

I've never seen this tool before - now I plan to get one - Thanks so much for your help, Dianne! Is there a way this tool can help me make ovals (or faces) that do not look like lopsided eggs? Everything I draw looks like it is slightly leaning to the right. I'm legally blind in one eye, so that's part of the problem. Is there anything that can help with this issue? Thanks again 💖

God bless, a great demo Dianne.

Man, I've been looking for a proportional divider for some time. Yes, I know I can get them online but I so don't like shopping online. I'm very tactile, online completely removes that aspect of shopping. And my local Hobby Lobby doesn't carry them. But a great tool.

Quite nice tool and can be made at home too

Great 👍

Thank you very much

👏👏👏

Awesome video! I bought one of these but haven't used it yet.

Hi Diane. Could you do a video describing how and when to use mediums for oil painting, as you work from thin to thick? Also, when to use different mediums such as Liquin vs. galkyd, or solvent free gel, etc. thank you!

Good job I have a set!!!

Hi Dianne Love the tutorial very educational Thank you! i'm very interested on purchasing the Prospek tool where can i purchase it? 😃

Have never heard of this tool but it would have helped when I was trying to paint houses. You lessons are so helpful.

I have a very old one of these, given to me by my father many moons ago. I knew it would come in handy 🙂

Thank you, Dianne, for demonstrating how to use this tool. I think I will invest in one to help me with my drawings. :)

Thank you so much Diane. You are such a great teacher. I have enjoyed all your videos. I have this tool but have never really understood it fully and now I do.
