In the art of painting and drawing, it is important not only to be able to embody your fantasies and imaginary objects on paper, but also to draw from nature. It is drawing from nature that helps to improve the technique, to develop a sense of perspective, chiaroscuro and many other aspects that make up a good and high-quality drawing. Drawing from nature, it is very important to convey a three-dimensional image on paper, creating a sense of the depth of space, and this cannot be achieved without knowing the laws of perspective.
Instructions
Step 1
Once you find an object to paint, determine the composition and try to always look at the object from one point so that the composition is not disturbed. Draw only what falls into your field of vision, this will allow you to most reliably convey objects of real life on paper.
Step 2
Consider the object for drawing from different angles, choosing the one that will look best on the plane drawing.
Step 3
Always take into account the lines of perspective in the drawing, because it is thanks to them that it acquires depth, volume and proportionality. Correct the drawing by choosing a specific point of view on the subject of nature, as well as removing this point of view from the plane of the painting. This will add expressiveness to the drawing.
Step 4
Think over to the smallest detail the placement of space objects in your drawing. Choose the composition that will reveal the content of the picture in the most detail and vividly and create the necessary atmosphere.
Step 5
Determine the height of the horizon before you start painting, and form an adequate distance from the painting to the imaginary observer of the scene depicted on it. The greater the distance from the observer to the image, the more natural it appears to the viewer.
Step 6
A high or low horizon, in turn, will allow you to create a certain emphasis on the distant or near figures of the picture. Try to choose an angle from which you can most fully and deeply reflect the events taking place in reality on paper. The painting should be vivid and natural.
