I find that the polarization offered by my sunglasses often results in a pleasing image, especially of cumulus clouds on a bright day. So I've often toyed with the idea of sketching with a get-up something like you're rocking here: sunglasses for viewing the image to be sketched, reading (or no) glasses for looking at the sketch. A sort of (pardon me) weird bi-focal-type situation. Yet - I suppose for obvious reasons - I haven't gotten around to actually trying that...Any chance that's what you were up to?
Ha! That is great.
ReplyDeleteJust remember to watch your step! :D

ReplyDeleteTom, yes, I learned after I used this combination -- duh! -- that you can get "reading sunglasses" with a built in bifocal effect.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it looks crazy.
Cool! I’ll have to look into those myself!
DeleteWeren't those invented by Ben Franklin?!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Next time someone comments on the position of my glasses, I'm sending them to this photo!
