Have you ever tried to make a painting with a structure in it like a house or a bridge but it just never looks quite right? Then this class is for you. In this class we will be learning one point, two point and three point perspective in a simplified useful way for painters. We will then practice these techniques and discuss when and how to apply them to your work. We will also touch on multiple vanishing points and its uses. This class will be great for water colorists where the painting relies heavily on the drawing but it’s also great for oil and acrylic painters.

Large pad
Mechanical pencil
White eraser or kneading eraser
18” ruler
