Product Description
by Ernest W. Watson (Author)
2022 Reprint of the 1955 Illustrated Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Originally published as How to Use Creative Perspective. On this fascinating tour into the world of perspective one may simply look and marvel at the drawing techniques of Albert Dorne, Frank J. Reilly, Robert Fawcett and John Atherton, be inspired to get out sketch pad and instruments, or do something in between. The fact is Mr. Watson's book is indispensable to the student interested in perspective for artists and illustrators. It shows how such a master illustrator as Bobri, for example, can combine true perspective with actual violations of perspective to produce a convincing drawing. The book is equally indispensable to the draftsman, artist, and illustrator for solving those special perspective problems that arise to haunt him from time to time. In addition to all this, it is a gold mine of information about techniques.
Watson was the editor of American Artist beginning in 1937. During his teaching career he taught drawing and design at Pratt Art School for over twenty years.
