Finally!! We're back in business! I just picked up our 2nd production run from Aridian Industries in Azel, TX. We finally, after a long and arduous wait found a reliable company to make View Frame. They are very handsome and work perfectly!! Thanks to all who waited patiently. It's a happy, happy day! 😄😄#viewframe #viewfinder #artist #artist_tool #perspective #happy

Vincent Van Gogh used a perspective frame to aide his drawing and painting process. In a letter to his brother, Theo, dated August 1882, he describes being able to "...draw at lightening speed, and once the lines are fixed, paint at lightening speed." The image above is a replica of the frame Van Gogh used. It is at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The image below is a drawing he made of the frame to show his brother.

Space/Shape Relationships & Using Triangulation - A Guest Post

Many thanks to Melissa Miller Nece, CPSA, MAA for this guest post, in which she describes how she helped a student during a recent workshop, understand space/shape relationships using View Frame.

"Besides using the View Frame to help explain perspective in my drawing classes, I have found it’s useful for explaining other kinds of drawing relationships. The student working on a dog portrait had trouble understanding the relationships between the dog’s eyes and nose until I placed the View Frame right on the photo and aligned the parts with the magnetic guides. 

  Seeing that the features made a triangle, and how it aligned with the center line of the muzzle, made it much easier for the artist to get a good start on her drawing. 

  Most of the class came over to observe how we used the View Frame on the photo, and then the student was able to compare how well she’d drawn the angles by holding it above her drawing. She was easily able to see the necessary corrections."

The View Frame will be going along to all my classes now, not just drawing."

The Miira Team just had another great meeting at i2e in Tulsa. Today we graduated from the Immersion Program (after 15 weeks of intense work!), with an investor presentation, along with two other start-up companies, Smart Panel and Zarth Code, who also presented. Thank you i2E for giving us this incredible opportunity and experience! #tulsa #i2e #viewframe #view #frame #start-up #emergingtech #artisttools #artsupplies

Using View Frame, I enveloped the entire figure before I started the drawing. The envelope helped me to compose and determine early on the space between forms and the overall gesture of the pose. This image illustrates the envelope lines placed after the drawing is finished just to show the concept.

Miira View Frame can be used outdoors or in the studio. It's an essential tool for artists, designers, architects and instructors of same. For the art, design or architecture instructor, teaching foundational art concepts has never been easier! My students have sped up their work and have gained confidence and pride in their efforts to create. It's so much fun!
