The picture on the top right is of a view of the image as seen through the LUCID-Art. The image is transparent, so you can see the subject (in this case a still life), your hand, pencil and pencil marks all at the same time. With the LUCID-Art you can adjust the size, position and intensity of the image as needed.

The User Manual will teach you how everything works and how to use your LUCID-Art, but the concept is very simple. You will be able to get an image of whatever you want to draw reflected right over your drawing surface. You simply trace over the image to get an accurate sketch quickly and easily.

You don’t have to worry about getting everything. Leave out what you don’t want and keeping what you like. Then after you have your sketch, finish your drawing with traditional drawing or painting techniques. It takes a little practice, but it’s as easy as it sounds.

For paintings you do not have to start with a pencil sketch, you can also paint right over the reflected image with oils, acrylics or water paints. You can use any medium you want: pencil, paint, pastels, charcoal, ink or almost anything else.

The LUCID-Art Camera Lucida will send shivers of excitement down your spine and you will quickly see why the old Masters might have found this kind of device so useful.
