Description
Perspective for Artists by Rex Vicat Cole is a comprehensive guide to understanding and applying perspective in art. With over 390 diagrams and more than 80 illustrations, this clearly written book clarifies the theory of perspective and offers numerous practice exercises. The book covers a range of topics, including the principle of perspective, rules of perspective, depths, plans for sketching foreshortened surfaces, inclined planes, the circle, arches, drawing curves by straight lines, and more. Two additional sections explore perspective in the history of art and mechanical perspective. A valuable resource for artists, this book combines common sense with an understanding of Nature's laws to make perspective accessible to all.
