Working on Perspective

The perspective rules I had known about weren’t allowing the car to look like it was driving downhill. I learned yesterday to raise one of the vanishing points for slanting objects. The proportions seem off a little, but I think I won’t let it bother me in the interest of getting the painting done on time.

I will scale my drawing on the computer to fit the composition, and then trace it onto the watercolor paper to save the step of redrawing it again.

And then Eddie driving, they backed up over the rise, over the top and turned and headed forward and down past Hatton Fields.
(John Steinbeck, Cannery Row,chapter 13)
