Town Square

This is a demo for another class I’m teaching.  We went  to Danville, Indiana where they took several pictures of the town as well as a railroad bridge.  They have painted scenes from that day.

This painting shows atmospheric perspective — the closer cars are larger than the ones further back, giving the impression of depth.   The same thing happens with linear perspective — the sidewalk is wider at the bottom of the painting, but gets smaller the further back it goes.
