Pastel Painting Tip #6 - Using a Viewfinder

For more info on using a viewfinder, go to: www.howtopastel...
Often when we look at a subject, we can get confused by what to actually paint. Using a viewfinder can resolve your confusion and calm much of your anxiety! Here I am using a ViewCatcher - fantastic tool!

LOL !!! Isn't it easier and FASTER using a smartphone where you also can choose the ratio and framing grids ?

+Dmitrii Vacula If you have the app, why not! I do like my viewfinder though :-)

[@PalmDreams]

not everyone can afford a smartphone...that is RATHER a new development. LOL...they also sell these with grids...or people also make their own...with grids and without...
