Artists who understand the basic principles of perspective have a tool that is invaluable in both painting what they see, and creating what they imagine. As demonstrated in 5 lively, live-drawing lectures by Gage Artistic Director Gary Faigin, perspective is not a dull set of rules and definitions; it's a guide to the way the world looks when seen with the help of a few key ideas. Each lecture focuses on one main concept, explained in a clear, common-sense way. "The paintings in my current show, The Age of Steam, would not be possible without the tools provided by perspective, but the ideas are neither difficult nor complicated."
