The Finder & Steady Hand Set A tool for the eye. A book for the mind.
Two things that work on the same problem from opposite ends.
The Fairview Finder steadies your eye. Hold it up and the scene in front of you stops being overwhelming. You see the design. You see the values. You find the story and the edges of it, before a single mark goes down. It helps you see the work first.
Steady Hand, Quiet Mind steadies the rest of you. It takes the durable wisdom of Marcus Aurelius and brings it to the easel. Focus when the mind wanders. Letting go of what you cannot control. The courage to simplify and the patience to endure the dry season. The book works on the part of painting that happens between your ears, which is the hardest part.
One clears the view. The other clears the head. Together they cover the two places painters get stuck most: not seeing the design, and not trusting themselves long enough to paint it.
The Finder goes in your bag. The book stays near the easel.
