Features: Perspective is the study of the laws of near objects appearing larger and distant objects smaller, as well as how to depict scenes on flat paper or canvas while maintaining their height, width, depth, and sense of three-dimensionality. This method is called "perspective technique," and the field of study is called "perspective theory." Perspective theory is a valuable experience summarized by predecessors through long-term artistic painting practice, serving as a guide for our own painting practice. Beyond its crucial role in painting art, perspective theory is also indispensable in fields such as photography, architecture, stage design, and more. By understanding and mastering perspective techniques, we can accurately and efficiently create sketches. When sketching, differences in the observer's distance, height, and angle relative to the subject result in varying shapes of the depicted object. Only by grasping these perspective principles can we skillfully produce the desired sketches. During the process of painting restoration or design drafting, fully leveraging the perspective skills we have mastered allows for more ingenious conceptualization and composition, better highlighting the theme of the restoration or design. Ancient Chinese painters had many unique insights into the application of perspective techniques and left behind numerous insightful discussions. By studying perspective theory, we also fulfill the task of researching, inheriting, and promoting the excellent legacy of our nation's painting art.
