Perspective Drawing and Painting

Perspective has been perhaps the most difficult subject in drawing and painting.

This should be no wonder, since we have been operating with much missing and false data behind how it truly functions. At best, what we had were techniques we memorized for drawing cubes and railroad tracks.

Building the subject up from scratch, these tutorials contain new breakthroughs which totally redefine what perspective is and how it really works.

These are written with the safe assumption that the reader has had no previous experience with perspective. They are, however, geared for both beginners and advanced users in mind.

The experienced artist will notice that the majority of this material consists of new information that has never been available before and contains answers only hinted at over the centuries.
