For me, the concept of eye line and arrows pointing down or up helps tremendously with perspective. I'm a photographer and understand perspective but drawing it is different.

@Premiumpostcards Жыл бұрын

Thank you for this video! I FINALLY understand the horizon line. I knew that it was taught to get your prospective right, but no one ever said how to find the proper placement of the horizon line. Light bulb moment for me. It is the artist sight line! Maybe they were teaching me that, but I did not get it until I watched you. You have a great teaching style.

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber Жыл бұрын

Thank you! There are rare occasions where the artist's sight line does not line up with the horizon, for instance if you are laying flat on your back or up in a plane, but for any standard position, looking ahead, it will :-)

Thank you! Sometimes less is more. I am a beginner at 65 and am just starting watercolor . I realized straight away I was going to have to draw at least a little better than my normal kindergarten style. I have watched many videos here and there and although my mind seems to be ok with it all when I get in front of my paper my hand becomes autonomous and I get kindergarten drawing. This shorter version has helped me greatly. Less arguing with my hand.🤦‍♀️😂

Thank you for the details. I learned quite a lot. I can seem to draw the one point perspective for stairs. Once I think that I’m doing okay, on the first three steps, my brain takes time out. I’m aware that the Horizon line is eye level (looking up or down) and the vanishing point, is of course, where things vanish and/or get smaller.

Hi Michelle, First thank you x's 1000. This has helped me immeasurably. All of it was helpful. Being above, below, eye level. Bigger to smaller. I want so much to be able to draw. All of a sudden, I said (after years of saying I simply was not born with an artist skill) I think I may be able to do this. I shall watch lots of your videos and eventually I'd love to watch you paint. THANK YOU!! You are an excellent instructor!!

For example, you give us a preview/description of what you’re about to teach us which helps us organise & structure in our minds the valuable tips that you are about to share. Really skilful & a real point of difference to other instructors who just get on camera & talk. The friendly accessibility of your style pairs wonderfully with the professionalism of your teaching.
