Love the tips of high horizon heightens the view and increases the forefront whereas the lower horizon increases the backview.

As usual I am rewatching some of your videos. Here is a tribute for the algorithm. 😊

The most useful for me right now has been the tip about using a right angle to draw an horizon line and making a dotted line. I have tried it and it has improved my horizons greatly. Thanks, Michelle.

Thank you for all the tips Michele, now I feel more confident at attempting a painting of our beautiful church 😊

[janetsuiter]

All of them. I love drawing most of all and perspectives are tricky and this was so good for me.

[ralphreske]

Thank you for these tips. I will use all of these in my next landscape.

Making thinks look flat is one of my current challenges. Merci, Michele! :)

The beginning technique was a new one! Thank you!

[victoriad]

learned more about perspective in this video than I ever learned in school art classes. Michele has a simple way of explaining everything, so the information isn't overwhelming and seems almost easy. Keep those videos coming - you are a wonderful teacher. I'll watch this one again to reinforce things I've learned. Next the building perspective video!

Thank you for a very thorough and informative video. Perhaps the most, I enjoyed the grasses and fence posts illustrations. I have been guilty many times of drawing grasses the same height! Thanks again.

[dianenortness]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the use of angles.

Wonderful Michele, the number of times I’ve made nearly all of the mistakes is untrue but the one I repeat so

most often is getting the horizon level and yes I resorted to using a ruler and was still unhappy and now I understand why. Thank you

[larinaharris]

New to your videos but already impressed. Favorite on this one was the bonus.

[scoiataeli]

I took couple of nice landscape pictures during last summer and now it feels like it’s about a time go give them a painting try! 😍 Thank you very much Michele for yet another superb video 😍

[Marrilyn]

Thankyou for this Michele. All of my paths and rivers stand up on the page. Hopefully i can now lay then flat

❤Please do a video on simplifying details in busy scenes — like forest scenes with lots of bushes, leaves, ground cover. Finding shapes—How much detail to include and different ways to suggest detail without drawing every leaf or grass blade. Your videos are wonderful. Thank-you so much for doing them.
