This is a couple points on using one or two eyes in analyzing visual information and briefly touches on side-by-side comparisons between nature and painting.

QUESTION:
I close one eye when framing my still life with a view-finder. I close one eye when aligning my cast with a spot in the background (to maintain consistent viewing position). Lately, while drawing - working to make angles and proportions more like - I find myself very often looking through one eye; and catch myself doing it even more so when I am particularly struggling, say, with an angle. Then I think, Wait a minute.... this does not seem right. Excepting for clear special purposes, as above, Why do I not always have both my eyes open when drawing? Would you please comment on this? What should be considered with regard to looking through one eye vs. two? (Ps. In the movies the artist is always titling his head and closing one eye but I hate to trust Hollywood.)
My second question does not seem substantial enough. It was only about holding both cast and paper together in the same field of vision - or, rapidly looking from one to the other - in order to see how like the drawing is.
Thanks!, Giovanni
