Middle School- One Point Perspective Watercolor

Now that everyone has a basic understanding of one point perspective we are going to use those skills to create a drawing of 5 or more skyscrapers from either a bird's eye or worm's eye point of view on a 9 x 12 piece of watercolor paper.  

Below are photo references which you can choose one from either worm's eye or bird's eye.You do NOT need to replicate the photo exactly but try your best to represent them using what we have learned.  Watch the demonstration in class carefully and ask questions at the time so that I can clarify if something does not make sense.  Once your drawing is finished we will complete it in watercolor and just like our last project choose a light source so that shadows and highlights are consistent and make sense.

Before choosing your photo reference copy and paste the link below into your browser to see an example of how it is done.  This demo differs from our process in that the artist does not use a ruler but otherwise gives you a sense of the process and makes it less intimidating.  
Take one step at a time and watch carefully.
