It expands our frame of reference to outside edges of the painting.

When I show others this, I ask them to hold out there brush or finger in front of there face, at about arms length, focus on the brush tip and the subject will be out of focus. with some practice they can then do it without the finger or brush. hope that helps someone.?.

For the stems on these lovely tomatoes, for example?Taryn Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781431670517925045noreply@blogger.com
