Improve Your Color Choices, With One Easy Step

If your like most of us, any product that helps to improve your art is worth investigating.

We've all had those days when we're outside painting and the atmosphere and fast moving sunlight is tricky to determine what color and value a particular object is. The makers of the View Catcher have included a hole in there product to isolate a color from the background and make it easier to decide on a color choice. The beauty of this simple hole is the neutral gray plastic background material and the size of the view hole itself. I recommend not only isolating the color spot your trying to replicate but once you have mixed the paint; then view it through 1/2 of the hole at the same time comparing it to the actual color. This will train your eye to quickly mix the proper color and value of any subject you encounter.

Use the view hole to isolate a color from the busy background.
