When we draw water lilies and leaves with lines only, we create their shapes. When we add colors, value, form, and texture to them, we bring their 3-dimensional forms to a paper. If we add background with appropriate perspective, the illusion of space and realism appears.

Hello everyone, My name is Yu-Yin Lin, who is an art educator, artist, and a designer. Some of you might have known me from my other Skillshare classes. I am a Top Teacher of Skillshare who has published 3 classes on Skillshare so far. My watercolor paintings have received both reginal and international awards. I have worked with different companies to design art classes, including Etchr Studio, Learn with The Bundle Lab, and Art Philosophy.

Also, I have been releasing my painting process, tutorials, and my life experiences regularly on
my YouTube channel @yincreativestudio. Another way that you can connect with me is to
find me on either Instagram @yincreativeart or Facebook @yincreativestudio.

My classes are not only teaching you how to paint subjects in a realistic style, but also providing
you some art knowledge as foundation. It doesn’t matter if you are experienced or self-taught
artists, you will be learning about art theory, art history and art knowledge that I learned from my
art schools, including bachelor’s degree in fine art and master’s degree in art education.

This class is my 4th class on Skillshare. After teaching how to create bokeh effect background,
shadows, and different light effects, I realized that learning perspective in art is another
important element to enhance your realistic artwork; that’s why I have designed this class for
you.

In this class, you will be learning the complete guide on perspective in art, including:
• What is Perspective?
• The elements of Perspective.
• The types of Perspective in art.
• Why Perspective is important in art.
• How to sketch with a one-point Perspective.
• What art supplies that we need for this class.
• How to create the illusion of space in your painting by creating aerial perspective background.
• How much water that you need.
• How to paint the fluffiness of clouds.
• How to paint realistic water lily leaves.
• How to paint white water lilies, including picking the correct colors for white flowers
and cooperating with cast shadows and light effects.

Perspective really helps the artists create lifelike artwork by creating the illusion of realism on a
2-dimensional surface. After this class, you can have the basic knowledge of perspective in art,
but also create the deeper depth to your artwork.
