There are hundreds of art books that will show you the basics of perspectives…

For an artist they are a valuable guide to help an artist gain the skills of realistic looking drawings and paintings. Using horizon lines, vanishing points and view points you are helped to master your perspective awareness.

An artist soon gains confidence in their art when they understand how to recreate 3-dimensional form with their drawing. Lifelike paintings are no problem…

* Your picture seems to have depth and substance even if it has been produced as a flat image

* Your pencil drawing gives the mood and atmosphere of reality

* Your portrait painting looks as if the subject could leap from the canvas to shake your hand

However, for an art beginner, perspective drawing can be a mystery.

Even the best artists can rely upon the rules of perspectives too much. Top professional illustrators can end up producing artificial looking paintings even when every effort has been made to respect perspective laws…

* Objects seem to be distorted

* You get an increased sense of flatness

Your own unique artistic viewpoint gives you the key to understanding and using perspectives.

There are many reasons why you see a different world…

* You could be taller or shorter

* Each person has different eyesight… You could be long-sighted while the person standing beside you could be short-sighted

* Although your color vision might be perfect… Other people could be effectively color blind

Your emotional response to your art subject affects your painting and drawing. If you have passion for your subject matter the resulting artwork will be better.

Knowing that you see the world differently gives you an advantage. You can justify your artistic vision. Whatever an art critic might say about your paintings and drawings… You know your art is your own view of reality…

Your Art is your own perspective on life… “Enjoy your painting and drawing”
