I used this tool all the time when I was graphic artist over 30 years ago and had forgotten what it was called. . I loved it! Thanks for reintroducing it into my brain. It's amazing what you lose after 70. Lol. Your tutorials are very clear and leave no questions afterwards. Thank you for that. Vickie, St. Louis MO U.S.A.
Thanks for the feedback Vickie. I am glad I could reintroduce you to the Proportion wheel. It's amazing what we forget when we don't use it. Happy painting!
Thank you for explaining how to use this tool! Once you have printed your desired size, how do you transfer your image to your watercolor paper? Do you use carbon paper?
Hi Ian, It depends. Some art stores and craft stores carry proportion wheels. You can also find them on Amazon. I have it listed under my affiliate links through Amazon, too. Here is the link to my website with the proportion wheel link about 1/2 down the page. www.lorrainewatrystudio.com/amazon-affiliate-links-lorraine-watry-studio Hope this helps.
Hi Linda, I found a site that sells all three Proportion wheels and it looks like the only difference is the size. The measurements on the wheels all look to be the same. The PS-69 is 5", the PS-79 is 6", and the PS-80 is 8".
@@lorrainewatry_watercolors Wondering if the wheel would be useful for sizing an object, not in the original photo, into the photo I want to paint? For example, putting in another bird from a different source while trying to keep the perspective consistent.

I transfer my drawing with a light table. You can also use the wax-free carbon paper or a brightly lit window to transfer the drawing.
Just heard about this scale from Shelley Prior. Thanks for explaining how to use it!
Yes, the proportion wheel is helpful for sure!
Awesome 👏👍
Thank you Julie
Lorraine, interesting...thanks💛
You’re welcome 😊
Hi Lorraine, great video, can you tell me where to purchase a proportional scale wheel please

Is there an advantage of difference by using a proportional divisor? I use those a lot.
I have not used a proportional divisor, so I can't answer that, sorry.
Proportion wheels come in PS-69, PS-79 and PS-80. I see you use a PS-80. Is there an advantage to using this over the other 2 sizes?
