I had been merrily going along with my art. Then, one day, a post on a friend’s Facebook page said that she had ordered jeweler’s glasses to be able to paint minatures. In a flash of wonder, I ordered jewelers glasses as well.
I was halfway done this scroll when the glasses came in. I couldn’t believe how sloppy it was. The paint wasn’t fully into the areas, the outlining was terrible. So, I spent more time fixing it than I probably would have starting over.
All in all, though, the glasses are a huge benefit to me.
