Ah Ha!
I've been watching your content for a couple of weeks and I want to thank you. I'm 60 and learning watercolor. Knowing watercolor basics reasonably well, after three years, the drawing is the challenge of my life 😂❤ it's not easy for me to learn from most. I feel like I can learn, because of the style in which you teach. Very much appreciated 👍

Very useful tips. Remembering eclipses based in the viewers eye is very helpful especially! I feel short-handing it to eye level will likely work better for my brain than stringent horizon line and vanishing points. I;lol save this to re watch take notes and do a few sketches with those written notes as well!
the first one was my biggest problem, thxxx 🙏🙏
Ah ha moment-using a ruler to make guidelines for water. Finally makes sense. And now I won’t need the ruler because I understand. Thanks!! 💙🌵

Fabulous lesson in perspective! Especially helpful was the idea of drawing lines toward the vanishing point as a guide to correctly positioning the windows along the outside wall. I've been dabbling in drawing for many years and this is the clearest presentation I've seen on this subject. That goes for your other videos too, which I'm making my way through. Thank you!

Re: the vase. When I first learned to draw, especially still lifes, I was taught to draw what I saw. I find that drawing an object depends on my perspective.

The lake perspective was my favorite. I knew my lakes looked wrong but didn’t know why! What I don’t understand is where I was in the example. Surely there is a perspective where I could see the curve of the lake? I used to go snowboarding at Lake Tahoe quite a bit and sometimes I would stop for a rest halfway down the mountain and sit for a few minutes. The view was incredible and the silence was perfect if nobody else was on the mountain. Sometimes I could see Lake Tahoe depending on which ski resort we were at. I never thought about it but assumed I would see the far curve, no? I will be viewing the world so much differently now! On a long road trip as we come up on a mountain or a large hill I’m amazed the perspective is it’s just getting bigger. It never looks like we are curving over a ball. People say that’s because earth is so large we don’t detect it. But that would mean everything would shrink up to that part of the sphere and now we have a problem what’s left in the rest of the ball? Quite a bit. So that perspective is fascinating because curving over a ball should different. Interesting on vanishing point too..

Most standard perspective assumes the viewer to be standing, eyes level with horizon, or below looking up, or up high looking down, but of course this doesn't track if you are in a hang glider or laying on the floor looking at the sky, so yes for all rules there are exceptions :-)
Thank you for simplifying the building perspective, find it quite difficult. Your tutorial helped, thank you v much!

Having a mechanical drawing background, I'm "down" with multi-point perspective for man-made objects and general placement/sizing of natural objects such as trees. I start to strain with "distributed" non-uniform objects such as the "small lake in the mountains" example that you gave. Using that example, I'll attempt to explain my issue: The actual configuration might not be so obliging as to provide a horizontal far shore. As seen, the shoreline might look as it did in the "water going up hill" form. Indeed, it might be a "finger lake" that runs at a distinct angle up a mountain valley. Under such circumstances, how does an artist overcome the "water running up hill" visual while remaining true to the actual scene? This is one of these, "a picture is worth a thousand words" questions. Therefore, perhaps you could address various artistic clues beyond "vanishing points" that "sell" perspective--and overcome the physics violation--in drawings/paintings in some future video (or have I missed something you have already done?). The "looking down" hint that made the base of the vase "rounder" was something I knew but didn't know. Previously, I would have matched the relative degree of elliptical eccentricity on the top and the bottom and called it good enough (well, at least I wouldn't have drawn the bottom as being flat). I will keep this lesson in mind in future.

There are multiple things in nature that just don't look real, like crazy cloud formations that would look like you got it wrong or made it up. Sometimes you just have to use a bit of artistic license I think, at least if you want the painting to be fairly traditional and not challenge the viewer. But that's an artistic choice really 🙂

I found the tips about rivers or roads hitting the vanishing point and the tip about bodies of water lying flat very helpful. I am also mystified by the idea of tall buildings slanting. I haven't really explored 3 point perspective. Thanks for these tips
@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber

No problem. With the tall buildings it's just another vanishing point up in the sky. If the building were tall enough it would disappear to nothing just like a long road heading to the horizon.

Thankyou Michelle ⚘️ When you see some artists using their brush held up out front of them, does this help them to find their perspective point?

More usually it's to compare relative sizes, for example height vs width of a house, or to check the angle of something.

Thanks for all your videos. They all take time!! But here's a thing. You mentioned photographers using wide angle lenses resulting in distorting perspective... Interestingly, wide-angle lenses do NOT distort perspective. Take two photos of a scene (from the same spot), one with a "normal/standard" or even telephoto lens and the second with a wide-angle lens and the perspective within the photos is exactly the same. Yes, of course the photos look different but if you then zoom into the wide-angle shot - the two photos, from a perspective point of view, will appear the same. Perspective arises from viewpoint and distance only.

Thanks so much for trying, but for many reasons it wasn't working for me. Some of the old Patreon tutorials are available as mini courses on Thinkific (link in description)
