Standing in the Shoes of Renaissance Masters: Leonardo da Vinci

By: Vanessa Mayhew

I used atmospheric/aerial perspective by making all items in my foreground (for example: lines on the road, stop sign and fence) much more defined and larger than the mountains, roads, stop sign and fences in the background. The mountains are very blurry and the few trees are also blurry and almost unidentifiable. I used a stop sign in the foreground and background to show scale. There is a dramatic size difference along with a much fuzzier and less defined color in the stop sign that is further away. My vanishing point is the end of the road where the fence, road and the bottom of the mountains all meet.
