When you want to learn about perspectives you will find hundreds of art books to show you how…

Essentially, they will talk about horizon lines, vanishing points and view points. They are an important guide for an artist to master drawing and painting realistic looking art.

Better still, an artist gains the knowledge of recreating 3-dimensional physical form in 2 dimensions. With full knowledge of perspective drawing a good artist can create a painting that will look lifelike…

* Even if your picture has been created on a flat surface, it looks as if it has depth

* 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

Yet, perspective drawing can seem to be a mystery to an art beginner.

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 look 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…

* Physical differences… You could be shorter or taller

* Your eyesight will be different… You could be short-sighted while your neighbor is long-sighted

* Everyone sees colors differently… You could have perfect color vision… Other people’s color vision could be impaired

When you have a passion for the art subject your interest levels will be high. Your emotional response will result in you producing better quality drawings and paintings. Your artwork will be inspired.

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…

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