“Snow and Stream” by Diana Rogers
One Point Perspective by Diane Podrat, Saturday, May 17, 10:00-11:30am on Zoom.
One Point Perspective: Come conquer one point perspective with Diane
Podrat, on Zoom, Saturday, May 17, 10:00-11:30. Based on Diane’s
decades of teaching, she will present an easy-to-understand explanation and
demonstration. She will then invite viewers to try a drawing exercise so they
can apply what they’ve learned. Diane will offer feedback to those who desire
such. Bring several pieces of paper, pencil and an eraser!
One point perspective is a technique for creating the illusion of depth and
space (three dimensions) on a flat surface, such as your canvas. This
is what makes a painting or drawing appear to have form, dimension,
distance, and space. It makes art look realistic.
There is no fee to attend. Register on the CAS website:
