| The Camera Lucida 2000: How does it work? |
 |
| The camera lucida 2000 is an optical instrument. Mirrors are used to create a reflected image of the subject.
The image is seen by the artist as if it were already a picture on the drawing paper. The image is correctly orientated - it is the right way up
and the right way round. |
 |
| This picture is a photograph taken with the camera lens in the place of the artist's eye.
It shows the image of the subject together with the artist's hand and pencil as it is seen by the artist. |
 |
| Looking down, through the head of the instrument, you are ready to follow in the tradition of past masters by using
optical accuracy to create drawings which display convincing realism. |
