Many artists also own a small hand mirror. The reason I got the stand-up mirror and placed it about 10 feet behind my easel is that it is easier to glance over my shoulder than to reach for the hand mirror, turn around, position myself and the mirror, and then re-hang the mirror and go on working. But I keep my hand mirror handy hanging on the frame of my easel. Also, another big plus for positioning a mirror behind your easel is that it effectively doubles your distance so far as viewing your work in reverse. If your mirror is 8 feet behind you, it has the effect of letting your view your work from 16 feet.
