Perspective Workshop

Instructor: Mary Rogers, [email protected], 713-692-8777 

Perspective is a challenge for both beginner and advanced painters.  Learn the basics, how to problem solve and self-correct, and apply this information to your own work. Often artists are stymied by perspective, but learning to break down the visual information you are observing makes it much less daunting.

A combination of teacher demos, guided practice, and handouts facilitate a variety of learning styles.   

Plan to bring 3-4 personal photos to work from on Day 2. These could be landscape, cityscape, still life, or a combination. 

Day 1:  Students will work through a series of exercises with instructor demos and guidance.  One point and two point perspective will be emphasized, with a variety of eye-levels.  Learning to break down complex visual information into more manageable structures will help you with on-site sketching and developing compositions.

Day 2:  With instructor guidance, students will analyze images and work through perspective challenges and apply learnings.

All levels.
