I have been trying to draw tall buildings and this will really help.

[@clairesmith1902]

The eye line was very helpful

[@agggienice]

The vanishing point.

[@hermajestyqueenmarcia]

Ok

[@tradingpostfarms]

Definitely the the perspective above and below. Really all of it. I just happened to be sketching a light house without a reference photo. I was listening to this video in the background and it was like, ah ha. Thanks great video, excellent tutorial.

[@maryaltabev5275]

Best perspective explanation I came across! Especially the issue of where the photographer is standing. Great job!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Much appreciated!

[@annehenderson9207]

Hi Michele, I've read so many books and watched numerous videos on perspective--but none made it as clear as your lesson here. You are a terrific teacher. And I love your style. Have learned so much from your videos....thank-you from over here in Canada.

[@gracewest8452]

Drawing the windows using the vanishing point explanation was an aha moment for me. Thank you.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@amexjam55]

Best tutorial on perspective basics without all of the technical stuff. Very well explained. And all excellent tips. Thank you.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad to help! :-)

[@elainethompson3845]

I thought all the tips were good and it was so in depth I’m going to keep watching it till it all sinks in! Thank you.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

So glad!

[@ulrike6681]

I found you some days ago.....thanks for all Michelle!!! Today I was learning with your three videos about masking fluid..... that was great. I started painting in May 2020.....because of Corona and as I am 63 years I must stay at home... your videos brighten my life. I can learn a lot, you are the perfect teacher. Thank you..... greatings from Vienna, Austria

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

You are very welcome! I have to stay in too, lockdown here, but I had the vaccine this week, so let us hope things improve :-)

[@ulrike6681]

That is great....I am registered for the vaccine, but I must wait....in Austria we have not enough, I hope my turn is soon. Stay healthy, greetings Ulli

[@MichaelBrown-ni1gm]

Really liked the idea of not looking around while painting to keep the perspective correct in my painting. Ex. Chair in same spot look at the perspective of the photographer. Keep things the same everytime I paint. Don't move around or change my position. Thank you for the videos. I'm excited about my next painting or drawing to use the many different things I learned today.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lorrainedodd76]

I've recently started drawing again after many years. In the last week or two, I've watched loads of tutorials. You are without a doubt the absolute best in everything you do and explain. I don't feel that I need to search anymore. Now that I've found you, I'm keeping you!! x

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Wow, thank you!

[@johnbodra778]

I am very thankful to you for explaining perspective in a simple clear manner

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

It's my pleasure

[@tricraftual4316]

OMG! This is the best video on perspective I’ve ever seen. I am a drawing/art newbie at 71! I have been so frustrated by the mathematical/architectural explanations that I’ve seen. THANK YOU!

[@Ruthie888]

I used to oil paint a lot, but when I had my children, I stopped painting. Now they are grown and I'm picking up watercolor and pencils. These are such good refresher courses. Thank you.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

That is awesome!

[@nicoleperron3315]

Always straight to the point and nice and clear! Why didn't I find you years ago. You create the aha moment, when I just get it.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thank you! Years ago I was teaching classes... you can thank the pandemic (!) for me transitioning to KZbin :-)

[@OrionsRoseNC]

FABULOUS VIDEO!!! I am a beginner and am just learning about perspective. I am going to watch this video several times... and take note!!!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kathrynfairchild1701]

Finally, I understand how to figure out where the eye line is! Thank you.

[@sabinelloyd8532]

This is pure gold! I am going to draw all of these in my little sketch book as a quick reference.❤🎉

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Please do!

[@Premiumpostcards]

Thank you for this video! I FINALLY understand the horizon line. I knew that it was taught to get your prospective right, but no one ever said how to find the proper placement of the horizon line. Light bulb moment for me. It is the artist sight line! Maybe they were teaching me that, but I did not get it until I watched you. You have a great teaching style.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thank you! There are rare occasions where the artist's sight line does not line up with the horizon, for instance if you are laying flat on your back or up in a plane, but for any standard position, looking ahead, it will :-)

[@dannyartsstuff2107]

your discussion of how to locate where the photographer was when "she/he" clicked the camera button is very helpful. peace.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it helped!

[@gilliandawson6567]

Thank you, this was great. What gave me the "oh, I get it moment" was the vanishing point being the eye level.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Wonderful!

[@sandrataylor9122]

Seeing perspective is very difficult for me. Your explanation of perspective being found from the point you are looking, up, down or in front of you is so simple I am amazed. I never would have thougth of that.

[@kauseressaji876]

Excellent video. Perspective is a bane of my life

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Remember, if you only copy what you see accurately it will be correct anyhow!

[@MrWeezy0204]

Your tip about changing color to cooler when painting smaller and further away is something new to me. Thanks Michelle

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tabaldak5184]

I’ve study this so many years ago but you’ve really driven it home hell of a teacher!!

[@oldepersonne]

Very helpful , especially the dots along a ruler for a straight line.

[@lorigilmore5521]

Loved this whole video. Love the arrows up and down. And the lines of perspective for windows and doors. Thank you!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lorigilmore5521]

Michele can you direct me to a video where I can learn how to put the guidelines in for windows and doors?

[@1fredricka]

the last comment about the middle perpendicular line going up or down if the observer is up or down. I never thought about it. Now I know I have to study perspective! very helpful video, thankyou!!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

There's more to it than I explained obviously but it's a beginning point if your building looks wrong ☺️

[@karenleto9232]

Hi Michelle, First thank you x's 1000. This has helped me immeasurably. All of it was helpful. Being above, below, eye level. Bigger to smaller. I want so much to be able to draw. All of a sudden, I said (after years of saying I simply was not born with an artist skill) I think I may be able to do this. I shall watch lots of your videos and eventually I'd love to watch you paint. THANK YOU!! You are an excellent instructor!!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thanks Karen, so pleased you like the videos!

[@beaulieuonnp593]

This is really useful. I don't like maths, and library books confuse me and so a video explaining this is really helpful

[@sheilaa90]

I enjoy the simple and clear way you explain things. Thankyou.

[@moonspirit6555]

Thank you Michelle, at last a video that simply explains perspective. I have watched loads of videos and become more and more confused/

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@denisesanborn9965]

I was just trying to figure out how to draw a building and your video has helped me a lot. Thank you!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Oh that's good 🙂

[@paintboxplayer8810]

This is the most helpful perspective video I’ve ever seen. You are such a good communicator as well as teacher. For example, you give us a preview/description of what you’re about to teach us which helps us organise & structure in our minds the valuable tips that you are about to share. Really skilful & a real point of difference to other instructors who just get on camera & talk. The friendly accessibility of your style pairs wonderfully with the professionalism of your teaching. Many thanks.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Wow, thank you!

[@boulbon08]

I can only echo your comment. Michele‘s teaching is pure gold. Thank you so much for putting this together for us, Michele 🙏❣️

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

@@boulbon08 thanks so much I appreciate you 🙏

[@Karen_Marie]

This is such a helpful video! I have been painting for years and always struggled with perspective, these tips and tricks have solved all of my problems. I love that it's not too complicated and you just give the basic idea to make sketching buildings more accurate and natural looking.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lyndamitton4496]

I can’t believe how much you have helped me out….simple rules to remember!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thant's great, my pleasure!

[@karyntaylor9121]

This was very helpful & I finally understand the basics of perspective

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

That's great!

[@timeforalex]

Hello Michele, Perspective is something that has been kind of difficult to me to understand. You make it easy, Thank you for this great video.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kimberlywarren4602]

I believe all of your tips are going to be very helpful to this self-taught, still learning artist. Thanks so much.

[@jlighthouse9458]

Wonderful perspective lesson , thank you Michelle !

[@maryheim8203]

I'm saving this video so I can continually refer back to it thank you very much

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CecilyBishop-h3z]

For me, the concept of eye line and arrows pointing down or up helps tremendously with perspective. I'm a photographer and understand perspective but drawing it is different.

[@petelangforduk]

Thank you Michele. Your videos are so helpful to me - a beginner to sketching and watercolour.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@patmclean416]

Very interesting. You can certainly see the up and down. Thanks

[@cherylc3679]

This explanation was excellent! So easy to understand and apply. Thank you!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

You're very welcome!

[@sueaberle935]

All your tips are helpful. Thank you for sharing.

[@trishjordan8859]

Thank you! Sometimes less is more. I am a beginner at 65 and am just starting watercolor . I realized straight away I was going to have to draw at least a little better than my normal kindergarten style. I have watched many videos here and there and although my mind seems to be ok with it all when I get in front of my paper my hand becomes autonomous and I get kindergarten drawing. This shorter version has helped me greatly. Less arguing with my hand.🤦‍♀️😂

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Never good to argue with bits of your own body I find!

[@Livingthegoodlife9000]

Perfect explanation! I will use these tips to make my buildings better. Thanks!,

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

No problem!

[@LorraineTapper]

This video has been extremely helpful.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

I'm so glad!

[@maggiefreeman6513]

Brilliant thank you so much. So much easier to understand now.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Great to hear!

[@dhall9819]

Thank you for the details. I learned quite a lot. I can seem to draw the one point perspective for stairs. Once I think that I’m doing okay, on the first three steps, my brain takes time out. I’m aware that the Horizon line is eye level (looking up or down) and the vanishing point, is of course, where things vanish and/or get smaller.

[@panther5031]

This video and information is BRILLIANT. Thank You so much 💜💟💜💟

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@debbierheault6552]
