In today’s Skype session, Anthony was addressing how to keep your lines straight when you are painting lines that need to be straight and even. I find a mahl stick or cane to sometimes slip.
I have a tool that appears like an old adjustable mopstick that you can make short or long. The head is like that of a slider that fits in the groove of my easel. It rotates on a rubber 360 degree type of hinge joint.
When I need albsolutely straight lines without shake, I can use this tool for any scale length and glide across my easel. I can also leave it hanging vertically where it doesn’t come near the painting, and I can lean my wrist or arm on it directly over the detailed area I need to paint with 100% control.
Upon Anthony’s recommendation , I am using a stylus as well… thank you Tony! Great tool.
If anyone needs the specs on this tool and dimensions lmk:-)
