So it looks like Vermeer used mirrors!

Some thesis

Tig... I think to some that's difference between artist and draftsman, if they use aids or not. Myself, I think that anyone that can recreate realism is an artist, in any method they can. Like Tadema, I don't care what tools he uses, the man is an artist through and through. Myself? I'm a glorified draftsman.

Great link Pilou. You were faster than me.
I've watched this video long time now.
David Hockney is a great artist. A pleasure to follow his thoughts.
Long before the use of optics, Dรผrer sketched this one.

Interesting.

Nice link, Mike. (Neolucida) Thanks.

It looks like it could be fun to use. The only problem I envisage is a sore back as you have to stay in a 'lean over' position while drawing / painting.

But, mike
we have digital photographs now, laptops, Ipads, etc etc
the only you need is a grid.
Or, you just need a projector, right? -

It's not the tools that matter in the end, it's the "eye".
For musicians the "ear." The same for all the other arts.
Better tools just produce a better result for those with the talent, but the best tools in the world will never make anyone who is mediocre, great.
