How To Make a Viewfinder

Let me start by saying it's a viewfinder. The viewfinder is a see through frame that will help you find the area more beautiful to paint. Now, in order to build a viewfinder to read.

The tools needed to make a viewfinder are made of cardboard (free acid if available), a good knife, two large paper clips and a ruler. Use the ruler and knife to cut two L-shaped pieces of cardboard as free acid. Now, the size is up to you, but the recommendation is 20 cm (8 inches) for the arms, but bigger is fine you can shorten it later. Make the L-form about 5 cm (2 inches), otherwise you fold when using them. Also to keep in mind the larger the frame of the viewfinder the most desirable objects of distraction are blocked from the point of view.

Use the two clips large to join the two L-shapes together to form the frame.

You can adjust the frame by sliding the L-shapes horizontally or vertically, as you like and that you need. Through the opening made it possible to find the best area to paint moving from area to area.

In other words, place your crosshair on your photos (or keep it in front of the landscape and look through it). Keep adjusting both L forms until you find the composition that you like.

That's all there is to do on how to make a bead, it is very simple but very useful. It 's also a good idea to make a viewfinder, take a small to use for photos and the larger ones are perfect to find the best composition when he was painting "en plein air" .......
