Systems of perspective can be applied by mechanical techniques or by freehand. Since the best approach for the beginner is to learn basic mechanical drawing methods, the reader is shown how to work out these systems with drafting tools. Once these are understood, they can be applied to freehand work, so that the artist has a great deal of control when representing objects in space. The book demonstrates the essentials of perspective drawing through the use of colour sketches and overlays, accompanied by finished paintings. This system is then applied to actual in-the-field painting situations that cover a broad range of subjects: landscape, still life, interiors, figures, and portraits. Authors Howard Etter and Margit Malmstrom, both working artists, present this often intimidating subject in a non-threatening manner especially geared to the beginning or intermediate artist. Howard Etter is a painter, architectural delineator, and design consultant. He has had extensive experience teaching perspective for both architects and artists. Margit Malmstrom is the author of three Watson-Guptill titles on clay sculpture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49559189684497,"sku":"GOR001156848","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53008877060369,"sku":"CIN0823039986A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53625780797713,"sku":"CIN0823039986G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53703442759953,"sku":"CIN0823039986VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0823039986.jpg?v=1751107264"},{"product_id":"perspective-for-painters-book-howard-etter-9780823039999","title":"Perspective for Painters","description":"A knowledge of perspective is invaluable to any painter working in a realistic style.

However, this essential guide was written exclusively for painters. In clear, easy-to-understand language, it includes a multitude of methods to helpthem add three-dimensional vitality to their work. And these techniques won't inhibit an artist's creativity  On the contrary, once mastered, they can be abandoned altogether to create specific effects.\u003cbr\u003eWith 200 expertly rendered, full-color illustrations, the authors explore the basics of perspective: light to define shape, depth, and location; viewing distance to show the space between the subject and observer; and cone of vision to reveal how much of the subject can be included without distortion. Then they broaden the scope to include picture plane, station point, horizon line and vanishing points, showing how the principles can be applied when fleshing out landscapes, still life, and figure painting. With a section on shortcuts and helpful hints, this is an essential work on perspective that artists, students, and instructors will refer to again and again.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50356074250513,"sku":"CIN0486466604G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0486466604.jpg?v=1751007272"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-howard-etter.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
