The glass technique to drawing and to filming

And is that my mother used that technique to do vitrals, and was flowers, and was that way she had some beautiful magazines that were about botanicals to who is a collector of rare flowers like orchid, one famous orchid is the vanilla, the start is millimetre the painting of the magazine she choosen commonly the covers, and after the glass is also millimetre, so she repeated all the of the cover in a much bigger glass surface, the page was of the size of a magazine the glass was huge 10 times bigger, so the squares of the glass was 10 times bigger, here where is common you buy glass the size you wanted.
For painting you put a glass in a stand and the glass will be drawed common in six subdivisions, you gonna order a glass in the dimensions that are correlative with the canvas like this if the proportions of the canvas are 3 of high for 2 of width that would be for the glass, and you gonna subdivide with a ruler with a slight trace, one that could be erased after, your canvas that could be cloth for a oil painting or ‘paper for art’. And you gonna see the model thru the glass in the stand and you gonna draw the model and the guidelines in the glass will help you to you draw in the canvas using the guidelines that you make in the canvas with your pencil.



And how to use the glass for filming, especially if you are making a stop-no-motion movie, you gonna use the glass in the stand, the camera will not look thru the glass the glass is to you draw the action and animate following what you draw in the glass this way is hard to miss a point.
And also in other incarnation I use an aquarium that was this dimension, size of a landscape painting and depth of 3 fingers and use to fill with kitchen soap, to film thru the aquarium and get funny colours, sometimes a kaleidoscope effect. Have times that I prefer the light with coloured filter and others I prefer the colour filter in the front of the camera, also I used a prism as a mirror to filming because my father wanted that the scene looks like gold, I filmed thru a gold plate that was small so I used a prism.
