Painting Picture Mirror
How did painters in the Renaissance times paint pictures of themselves without cameras?

If they had no cameras, how did they do self portraits like Albrecht Durer? If they used mirrors, they wouldn't get their hands or face right because they would be drawing/painting and looking dow

I saw that once on a PBS program. I can't remember who it was about now but it was a famous artist. Of course an actor was portraying him, but the facts were right.
