Perspective Sketches

These sketches that I scanned in from my sketchbook are studies using two and one point perspective. I wanted to experiment with how above/below the objects are to the horizon line while also playing around with vanishing points. A common figure among my sketches are bathtubs and beds. This might be due to the fact that the underlying shape to these objects are rectangles, and that is the first shape that it drawn to perspective. I also like the feeling that these floating bathtubs and beds give off. I like how they are the only object in the vast space of the open white background. I can imagine that the background stretches on for miles and miles, making these objects even more mysterious. Although these sketches are only found in my sketchbook, I would like to move them onto canvas. There is a certain quality that the pencil lines on paper give off that makes me curious to see how it will translate over to paint on canvas. Two artists that I have recently been looking at and gave me some inspiration are Anselm Kiefer and Evan Summer. The works by Anselm Kiefer that I have been specifically been looking at are his watercolors and paper. In these watercolors he creates these vast landscapes that incorporate perspective. I really enjoy the atmosphere that he creates using this perspective. When Evan Summer came here and showed his work I was particularly drawn to his one piece titled "Perspective Study". I enjoy this because this is similar to what I drew. There is this object sitting in space that has many perspective lines.
