Linear Perspective (Two Point Perspective)

Van Gogh

Two Point Perspective • Perspective that depicts three-dimensional objects receding or proceeding from two vanishing points on a two -dimensional surface.

Hopper

Remember: In two-point perspective most lines are either vertical or orthogonals. There are rarely horizontal lines in two-point perspective!

If the box is on the horizon line, it will look similar to this:

2 Point Perspective Project • Turn your 12”x 18” paper horizontally. • Draw a horizon line & a vertical line through the center of the paper and add a vanishing point on each end of the horizon line. • Lightly draw 2 of your initials in 2 point perspective. Remember to start with a vertical line for the front corner of the letter, then draw orthogonal lines and vertical lines for each side of the letters. • Outline the cast shadows for each letter using a light and shadow vanishing points. • USE A RULER!!!

• Choose 2 colors to use on your letters from the water color sets. One color for each letter. • Paint one side of each letter lightly (the side that faces the light source). • Using the same colors, paint the other side of each letter a darker shade of that color (the side facing away from the light source). • Blow dry each time you paint a side of a letter so the paints don’t bleed together. • Use a different, third color to paint your shadows. They should fade from dark to light as you get farther from the base of each letter. • Paint the top half lightly one color and the bottom half lightly with another color. • Put it on the drying rack. • After the paint dries, use color pencils to add values and details to the letters and cast shadows.
