Perspective Special

(for Perspective Special by Karla Beatty, Please click the image to enlarge)

Botanical subjects are sometimes tricky to illustrate without a detailed knowledge of the many theories of perspective. In our required curriculum we include a 15 hour course on linear and aerial perspective (Perfecting Perspective).
By request we are also offering an elective Perspective Special during which the students will challenge themselves in the 5 different types of perspective drawing. Please see more by clicking here.
