I have a lovely friend, an fine artist. She takes a mirror, turn around and views the painting over her shoulders. Works well for her as her paintings show.

I do the same thing, lately I have a big mirror behind me.

For a hand-held version, I bought a magnifying glass from the dollar store, and spray-painted one side of the glass black. It's great for quick checks on my plein-air painting and life drawings.

@janetlyn523 День назад

If it’s painted on one side, how does that make it useful?

@bunnichuktube День назад

@@janetlyn523 it’s like a black mirror, then

Good video Carey. I just happened to come across your channel. You have some very good content here!

Hi Carey, yesterday after I finished painting I made the black mirror, today I used it, it's a tool of create value to the artist. Thank you so much again for answering my question, and for this awesome tutorial on making one. 🙃🎨🖌

Fantastic Raven!. I was filming all day for a Master copy course I am offering and YES I too was using my black mirror quite a bit as accuracy is very important in this case. Great little tool. Please stay tuned, I am recommitting to my RU-vid channel so there will be regular new tutorials available. Best of luck with your art journey!

I turn the piece upside down when possible. Taking a photo of your work and looking at the photo you will see different things, too. Or take a photo and then put it in an app and flip the photo. It's amazing how different you can see things this way. I really like this idea of the Black Mirror also!

@careyalvezartschool 2 года назад

Thanks Lea, Yes it's all about abstracting the image, somehow we need to shift our perceptions, I've used all of the methods you mentioned and yes they all work. Cheers

@@careyalvezartschool Thanks for sharing the black mirror method!

@barryt.johnson День назад

This was known as a Claude glass (after Claude Lorrain, French Landscape painter)

@careyalvezartschool День назад

Well thank you, I'm not a landscape painter, never really knew where it originated from. I learned it in the atelier I was studying at.

@ravenshadowz2343 Месяц назад

I forgot to tell you about what my oil painting instructor talked about using a concave lens if you do not have enough room to walk away from the painting to see it from another view point. He talked about the concave mirror replacing the distance that you do not have. You may already know about that. This is what I bought on Amazon. EISCO Optical Glass Lens, 3" (75mm) - 200mm Focal Length - Ground, Beveled Edges it cost almost $12.00 but well worth it. I already have the black paper and the electrical tape, everything except the picture frames which we will be getting today. So I will get to use it tomorrow, so excited. I will keep you up to date on how it came out. :)

I turn my reference upside down You’re right. Suddenly,I’m not drawing a face. I’m seeing an arrangement of shadings,lights,proportions,lines only I see,now, clearly how “off” my drawing was. Problems solved!

@careyalvezartschool День назад

Glad this helped, ironically the key to accuracy is to "detach from the thing" and see things objectively, after practicing this it becomes second nature and you can just flip in and out of it.

@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork 2 года назад

Helpful? My lady, you just gave me an atomic bomb of a tool. Thank you.

@careyalvezartschool 2 года назад

Your Welcome Martin, Let me know if these tips help

@ravenshadowz2343 Месяц назад

Are you using 1/2 " electrical tape?

@careyalvezartschool Месяц назад

Hi Raven, Yes just regular electrical tape. You don't want to break the border with masking tape or another colour.
