Perspective, Depth, and Space in Painting
One of the most significant contributions to realist art is the discovery of perspective. Accurately portraying perspective in your paintings is critical, as viewers will instinctively know if something is off.
Perspective and Depth
Perspective is one of the primary tools we have to create a feeling of depth. We can use many design tools to enhance the effect of perspective, such as:
● Lines like fence posts or tree trunks can convince viewers they're traveling off into the distance as they get smaller and less distinct.
● Proportion
● Shading (values)
● Overlapping
● Foreshortening
● Position
● Clarity (Atmospheric Perspective)
As a painter, the effects of light and atmosphere are what I remember about a location and what inspires me most. Light transforms the ordinary or even beautiful into the exceptional. I aim to capture these fleeting moments and help people see things again through new eyes.
