Gallery: One-Point
Perspectives (continued)
Although this image is a painting, it is included here because it displays the artist’s knowledge of perspective. Once you have
mastered the rules of perspective, you can create a believable space such as this. One-point perspective is used to dramatic
effect to suggest the wide, lonely, seemingly never-ending road of a Texas town. The painting has a precision of drawing
objects in perspective which adds to its very believable sense of realism. Through its accuracy, you can get a very clear sense
of the vantage point, eye level, and the horizon line of the artist as he viewed his subject.
