Stephanie Bower
It seems like most people teach perspective by imagining boxes on a table, but that doesn’t help if you are an urban sketcher and want to sketch the scene in front of you! In this session, we’ll use an iPad presentation to go over a few basics about how perspective works in the real world. I’ll share examples of my sketches and talk about how I start my sketches. I’ll review your work and mark it up on tracing paper overlays as well as answer any questions you may have. Bring me your toughest questions! Perspective is not hard when you know what to look for, and you’ll start to see perspective everywhere!
