    *To anyone who has been searching for an explanation of the horizon line: THIS IS IT!
    I've been painting for years and have helped others and can say that this is the best tutorial on the subject, hands down. While others complicate and confuse, Diane brilliantly, and clearly, discusses and demonstrates the horizon line so that anyone can understand in less than seventeen minutes. Well worth watching.
    Thanks for posting.

    Great explanation! I’ve watched some single point perspective tutorials and tried drawing using the information in sketching but always struggled because I thought the horizon was the vanishing point and then there was the dilemma when the horizon was not in sight. I’ve been at this for less than a year so I won’t beat myself up too much. Thank you for the tutorial.

It helped so much that you made the point that the "horizon line" in drawing and painting is really the "vantage point" and that the actual horizon of the landscape may or may not be the same as the vantage point.

As well as explaining that where the tilted lines below and above intersect is where you always always find the horizon (horizontal) line! Jeez louise. Thank you Dianne

    • @IntheStudioArtInstruction
      @IntheStudioArtInstruction  5 лет назад +6

      Yes, if you are doing realistic drawing or painting. Playing with multiple horizon lines has been one way artists have played with visual space.
      The vanishing point is always that point at which the left and the right lines above and below the horizon line meet.

  • @darrenmcallister7511
    @darrenmcallister7511 5 лет назад +1

    So if I’m not painting from a picture, doing a landscape, should my first step be to establish the horizon line? I know this probably sounds obvious, but I see so many videos where people just start with the sky and work down.

    • @bio-plasmictoad5311
      @bio-plasmictoad5311 5 лет назад +1

      If the horizon is going to be clear where it is I would i.e. you can see the horizon line. When I start a landscape or other's do I paint the sky first simply because the trees or building's will be in front. Putting the horizon line in you can still help you even if its going to be painted over. There's lots of ways to go about it.

    • @IntheStudioArtInstruction
      @IntheStudioArtInstruction  5 лет назад

      Keep in mind that the "horizon line" is your vantage point, not where the sky meets the sky. Where the earth meets the sky is the horizon itself, but when we use the word "horizon" as an adjective to "line", it goes straight ahead of where your eye level is. Watch the Quick Tip again with this understanding.

  • @marthabarlow4355
    @marthabarlow4355 5 лет назад +1

    You explain the horizon point very well. I’m still confused about the vanishing point and what about it makes it important?

    • @IntheStudioArtInstruction
      @IntheStudioArtInstruction  5 лет назад +2

      The vanishing point is important because of how our eyes perceive. For example, looking at a simple four-sided building at a place where you can see two sides of it, our eyes cause the edges of the tops and bottoms of each side to tilt towards the horizon line. If we extend the drawing of those lines to touch the horizon line, they both will meet at the same spot. That's their vanishing point. Hope this helps.

      Look for shadow first, then observe within your subject their values, then look at how those values differ from areas not in shadow. When you paint them, stick to the degree of value contrast you are observing.

      We can't make rules about that. The best way is find distant values (all values) is to squint and compare one value to another. Remember the range from black to white and imagine where the values you find fit within this range.

    • @IntheStudioArtInstruction
      @IntheStudioArtInstruction  5 лет назад +1

      We can't make rules about these things. In "The Last Supper", Leonardo put the horizon line in dead center (or middle). Where you put it defines where you are located, looking straight ahead. If your eye level is located lower to the ground, your "horizon line" will be lower down, even though the earth's horizon might be located higher up on the painting surface.
