Learn to Draw Using Perspective

By Mr. Daryl Hosick

This book takes a different approach to help you capture the depth and drama of the scene in front of you. Instead of the "science" of stiff, mechanical perspective this book shows you how to look for and see depth "clues" and then how to use these depth "clues" to capture the depth in your drawings and paintings. We start by looking for "depth clues" in photographs of subjects that we commonly depict in our landscape and urban paintings -- trees, fences, roads, paths, rocks, and of course, structures. Not hard stiff office buildings but "artistic" structures such as falling down barns and Victorian houses. Then we give you examples of how to use these depth clues as you compose your paintings. Then we go another step and show you how to creatively use "depth clues" to add depth to otherwise "flat" scenes. The book is written for artists who work "en plein air" or use photographic references -- or both. Once you know the "clues" to look for you will readily discover these clues in your plein air scenes.
