The Still-Life table stand supports a grid assembly in the up-right position so you can draw or paint landscapes, objects, and portraits realistically. The Still-life table stand is a system that utilizes the grid method which makes it easier to see shape relationships and draw or paint with precision. The grid assembly is comprised of (2) plexi -glass sheets which secure Bornowski's Grid inside. The grid assembly can be disassembled to remove Bornowski’s Grid and used over any flat image like a photograph, print, drawing etc. Once you are ready to draw or paint the grid assembly can be turned for maximum affect to the portrait or landscape position. And to change the grid position simply lift it off the two legs and placing it back in the new position. The still-life stand is also compact and convenient to fulfill the grid with any small or large image by simply moving it back or up close. Once you are done using the Still-life table stand you can disassemble it and store it in a small place or carry it in a backpack while traveling. See grid method using grid.

Bornowski’s Transparent Grid that is easy to use over and over again and it will teach you how to see proportion and alignment two of the biggest problems associated with getting the drawing or painting right. You can position it over any photo, drawing or any flat image and instantly you have a grid structure to draw or paint any subject realistically. The grid will correct inadequate drawing practices allow you to copy images, formulate compositions and perspective. It is a system to orientate you to the support, section the subject into understandable parts, draw shape connections and positive negative shapes proportionately. Once you start using the grid you will find your drawing will be more accurate. Mentally this is an important step. The grid will teach you how to see according to the true nature of things and train you to see the drawing correctly and eventually after several drawings in this manner you will no longer need the grid. Costeffectiveso you can purchase more than one grid to cover large areas or have multiple grid structures for each image, drawing etc.

Measuring: Is one of the main characteristics of Bornowski’s transparent grid and is quick to determine distance between two or more points without having to an extra measuring device and drawing lines you have to erase. It is created to a 1:1 ration or can be thought of as 1 inch or 2.54 centimeters squares. On the upper right side there is 10.5 millimeters scale. The film can be moved to any position as a quick way to measure horizontal and vertical distance and the millimeters scale accurate detail. Visually you can quickly determine a measurement between two points on a photograph and then check your work to see if it is the same. Each square can be divided into fractions like ½ ¼ and so on.

Proportion: is one of the main problems which occurs often when creating a realistic drawing or painting. Find a key shape in your subject. If you are using the Still-life table stand, look though the grid and decide which shape is a reasonable size to compare to all the other shapes. If you are using the Transparent grid on a photograph lay it flat on the reference image and move it around to align the edges of a square on a key shape. Then measure visually vertically and horizontally. This measurement is the standard to determine your proportions. For example I have a photograph of a cat. In the photograph one eye fits within one square. To find the width of the head I will measure and determine it equals 7 eyes or 7 squares in the photograph. So in my drawing or painting I know I need 7 squares to for the width of the head. This method can be used for any subject or any shape.

Enlarging or reducing: The grid is a good way to accurately enlarge or reduce a realistic drawing. For example, the artist may want to create a mural from a photograph. The transparent grid is to the scale of one-inch and the mural grid equals one foot. So on the wall the grid is drawn in one-foot squares. The formula 1 inch = 1 foot. The same is true when reducing. For example 1 inch on the transparent grid can equal ½ inch grid on the support. Everything is copied from the transparent grid as it is in the square to the new grid size.

Alignment: This is another problem most face when creating a sense of space and perspective. Part of this idea again has to do with proportion but also how shapes are aligned. If the alignment is off then space and perspective will appear wrong. In a simple maneuver move the transparent grid to any location on the photograph. If you are using the Still-Life table stand move the whole stand. Align any two points using the vertical or horizontal lines. For example, in the photograph of the cat I align a grid line on the inside corner of the left eye. Keeping the grid parallel to the edge of the photograph I see where the line aligns with the mouth. I then duplicate this alignment in my painting or drawing again making sure this is measurement is parallel to the edge of the support. Use this method to check the alignment of all parts of your composition.
