... there was light.
I finally gave in to the urge to be able to see while I paint. A trip to Bunnings has sorted me out with a Brilliant Magoo Magnifier Clamp and Desk Lamp.
So far it seems to do a pretty decent job, and compared to some of the other prices out there, $99 was not too bad.
Good points:
- Magnification and focal point. Magnification is strong and there is plenty of room to swing a paintbrush.
- Field of vision. You can see what you are doing in other parts of the room as well.
- Light. The painting area is significantly brighter than it was before.
Bad points:
- You need to take frequent rests to avoid headaches.
- You will probably get so used to this that you can't paint without it.
Whether it leads to increased painting output remains to be seen, but one lives in hope!
