Now all I have to do....

I am putting these examples here so I can study them together)







Now all I have to do....Is figure out linear perspective.

I know,... Easy! Right?

Um. Yeah, until you try to do it with a paintbrush.

Any Italians out there listening? I will trade you a Bridge to Nowhere for a clue.

Thanks darlin. Yeah I think I will probably need a whole book this time.

Once I realized my weakness painting man made lines was a matter of linear perspective it really did get me to think differently on the whole thing.

It feels so strange to be at this place in study. I waited for it for so long I just assumed it would happen slowly over time. Now my eyes changed and all the sudden I can see perspective in managable composition. I am completely different, yet ...the same.

Even my hearing has changed. Something monumental has shifted, but it feels sooo...natural. It is kinda eerie.

If I ever master perspective I am going to grow an ego too big to fit in a normal hemisphere.

Tricky stuff.
