This is One of the Secret Devices used by the Old Masters! Videos on the History

What secret devices did Old Masters like Ingres, Jan Van Eyck, Caravaggio and Vermeer use? How much greater would your art be if you could use this ancient technology?
As you may have seen in works by David Hockney (watch his video) or on Artist Daily’s blog post “Big Controversy: Should Artists Use This Tool?“ by Courtney Jordan, they may have used the camera lucida and other optical aids (Camera Obscuras) to help create their art, and now you can too with the LUCID-Art Camera Lucida!
Draw or Paint Fron Life
Take a look through the LUCID-Art's view hole and you will see an image of whatever is in front of you—whether a portrait, still life or landscape—reflected onto your paper or canvas...
...Simply draw or paint right over the image to get an accurate sketch or underpainting in minutes with correct prospective, proportion, position—everything! Leaving you the time to focus on being the artist you always wanted to be.
Or Project a Photo!
with the Photo Projector accessory (Sold Separately)
The Photo Projector holds a photo or small object and attaches right to your LUCID-Art camera lucida...
...The photo or small object is enlarged and reflected onto your paper or canvas to draw or paint over. You can get a 4x enlargement—that's enlarging a 4x5” photo to 16x20”!
No electricity. No noise. No Heat. The LUCID-Art Camera Lucida, by Ancient Magic Art Tools, works like magic! For centuries Great Masters like Caravaggio, Vermeer and Ingres were said to have used camera lucidas and similar devices. The LUCID-Art Camera Lucida retains all the magic of the Masters' secret techniques, while improving on the original with a much larger, more stable and brighter image. You can even adjust the brightness of the image as needed. This transforms the camera lucida from a neat device into the indispensable art tool.

The LUCID-Art clamps to a table or the optional drawing board that mounts onto a standard tripod—great for plein air. The LUCID-Art works for still lifes, landscapes, portraits or photos with the optional Photo Projector accessory. Useful flexible fun and easy—the potential is limitless! The LUCID-Art Camera Lucida by Ancient Magic Art Tools: the experts in camera lucidas, camera obscuras and other 19th century toys and devices.

Camera Obscuras
Long before projectors or lightboxes or even camera lucidas—there was the Camera Obscura. The Camera Obscura by Ancient Magic Art Tools' image simplifies and enriches color while adding depth—enhancing the way an artist sees. This historical device was likely used by Vermeer, Canaletto, Guardi and others. And today it's a collectible and still a practical art aid. Great for any classroom teaching the history of cameras, film or art.
