Just enter text into the “search the site” field over to the right, for something you remember. It can be something that was in the photos or written in the text.

Slideshows are presented as a vertical stack of photos with captions, which are easy to zoom in on using your fingers to pinch on a touch screen or touchpad. Just scroll down to advance.[/su_panel]


Description

Using two hands and closing one eye, you can quickly see how a live subject can fit into the rectangle of your paper or canvas. This slideshow gives you the view from the artist’s eye so you can do this classic technique.
