I did the above painting to study the effects of the night sky
close to the horizon line (eye level) and the building in 2 point linear
perspective. The scene was done around 5 a.m. and the sky was a red black hue
(color) close to the horizon line. This also allowed me to use the
complementary hue, green in the painting. The sides or planes of the building
converge to the left and right vanishing points on the horizon line in linear
perspective. Linear perspective is a method used to paint 3 dimensional forms
on a 2 dimensional support. The edges diminish and converge as parallel lines
to the vanishing points on the horizon line. In my painting, the horizon line
is at the top level of the windows. I
used a muted green to paint the building. The building was lighter on the left
side because of the number of overhead light fixtures. I went back to the area
during the day so I could view the building’s linear perspective as I stood at
the same location. You can also see the
form and cast shadows on the building, poles and ground created by the outside
light fixtures.
