What's in Premium?

In the premium lesson, we analyze Hiroshi Yoshida's "Rapids" to understand his masterful use of perspective in depicting water. You'll learn:

• How water shapes change when viewed from different angles, compressing into ellipses when seen along the flow.
• The structure of waterfalls, including the top plane and the sloping front plane with subtle curves.
• The rhythm in composition, balancing light and dark areas without sacrificing perspective.
• The use of cross contours and the cylinder effect to convey depth and movement in water.
• How the size and structure of froth and wavelets diminish as they recede into the distance.

This lesson helps you recognize these techniques so you can apply them to your own work.
