Perspective in art is what gives your work a 3D look rather than a flat painting or drawing. It sounds complicated and boring but it is actually quite simple and is probably something you already understand but just haven’t applied it to your work.​.

​

​Perspective

​

the position from where you view your scene. So a normal viewpoint would be looking at a scene or object at eye level..

​

Viewpoint​

​

​

– the further away an object gets, the smaller it will appear. So if you are drawing or painting a house with a large tree in the distance, the tree would be painted or drawn much smaller than the house.​

​

Linear Perspective

​

​

– objects in the distance appear less detailed and lighter. They often have a cool blue tone. If you have ever looked at mountains in the distance they appear to be a soft, fuzzy blue tone with no definition of the foliage growing on them.
