I didn't even realize that was the problem until read what you did with yours!<br />I love your paintings, it looks like you are using the Guerilla Painter box, maybe the Thumbox (6X8)? You now have a new "Follower."I found you through Michael Johnson's blog, enjoying the trip to Zion.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438049904759575799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34007836.post-67243824719513117112012-03-24T15:55:25.891-04:002012-03-24T15:55:25.891-04:00Neat idea.

I'll try attaching one to my pochade and give it a try..Nancy Van Blaricomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030893675129815727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34007836.post-82205078019319921432012-03-24T15:49:47.303-04:002012-03-24T15:49:47.303-04:00I made the view catcher.

I just took a piece of cardboard and cut out the appropriate square, then took a piece of clear plastic and taped it to the back of the cardboard. Then took a Sharpie and put lines dividing the plastic into the 9 squares so that I could find the 'sweet spot' easier. <br /><br />Generally, I would try to place the view catcher at the side of the pochade at the height where I can view it at the same time I am painting, but with this tiny pochade, I wasn't able to get it high enough. So it didn't work out today but did use it to compose my view initially.Nancy L.

I get to bogged down with detail in lg buildings.<br /><br />Tell me about your view catcher I see clamped to your pochade box. Are you leaning down to look thru it or holding it in your hands ... I am not good at any that I've ever tried holding in my hands. <br /><br />Congrats on getting out today. We are promised some sun but so far only overcast.Nancy Van Blaricomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030893675129815727noreply@blogger.com
