Di and Helen had obviously worked hard to produce an evening on which we examined perspective.
Helen started by showing us ways to deal with perspective involving distance and looking at a spherical or flat circular object from different angles and examining how it can be viewed as an ellipse. Di then continued with a demonstration of how perspective depends on viewpoints and vanishing points and how it changes. We then tried out the theories on different subjects from pictures supplied by Di and Helen. It was a very interesting evening and certainly made us think carefully about how we represent structures particularly in landscapes and still life paintings.
We also had the pleasure of applauding Lesley for winning the 50th Anniversary Trophy for the Best painting in the exhibition - "Hoppy" and Fred for being voted the Best Runner Up with his painting of "The Shrinking Waterhole" Excellent pictures from both of them!
