Ok, this is going to sound very dumb but i am a beginner in color pencis. what does the view finder axtually do?

Hey there, it is basically like the view finder in a camera. It helps you zone in on a specific section so you can localize a color and or shape. Try googling or YouTube for a visual explanation.

How big is the opening?

Hello, the OPENING IS 2" X 2" (2 inches x 2 inches). (i guess that is 5.08 X 5.08 cm.) i ASSUME the other Answer is referring to "Proportions" that you can create with the sliding mechanism. The Sliding internal plastic rectangle slides into the Square creating any proportion you desire. For example if you were going to be painting on a canvas that is 2 ft x 2 ft, then you could transpose the 2x2 inch square easily to a 2x2' canvas. if you were to paint on a 2 foot x 1 foot sized canvas, you would slide the sliding internal rectangle to make the internal window, instead of its widest 2"x2" to 2" x 1" (sliding the secondary rectangle of plastic into the "window"), etc. etc. This is for looking THROUGH (to answer someone else's question) at, for example a landscape you are viewing out doors, and "compose" by looking through the window adjusted to the appropriate proportions, e.g. 2x2 (a square or 2 x 1 a long rectangle). Then as you paint or draw onto your canvas or paper you view your actual landscape before you (the great outdoors, or it could be a still life of a bowl of flowers on a table), by remembering where the rectangle points fall when you choose your composition. E.g., you might pick a particular tree top intersecting with a mountain peak as your upper right corner, a rock on the ground as lower right, the top acr of a notable, e.g., very round tree on hills upper left, and a spot of brush lower left... everytime you hold up your "window" to look through you align those points, and then in laying out the same on your canvas you try to lay out in relationship to what rectangle or square portion of nature, you are capturing in your window. (lots of words, easier to show, than explain.... probably there are LOTS of youtube free tutorials and explanations on this).

Is this made of plastic? If so, is it somewhat pliable, or brittle (and breakable)?

Measures 3½" x 3½" and is constructed of durable plastic to provide years of use. Hold it at different distances and adjust the opening horizontally or vertically to help find just the right composition. Colored a #5 gray to help judge value and has a small sight opening in the center to enable true color to be seen.Item PropertiesCategory: Color GuidesBrand: Color WheelFormat: CardSize: 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

The sizes seem to be for larger paintings. Can I use it for smaller sizes?

The view catcher is meant for composing the scenes you are going to paint. There are a several different height to width ratios that you can choose from when deciding on your composition pf the scene to be painted. The size of the painting is irrelevant.
