Features: Tracing the development history of Western European painting, we can draw the conclusion that without the study and application of perspective, there would be no establishment of Western European painting tradition, and no possibility of drawing inspiration from other art forms. Perspective knowledge and expression techniques are fundamental components of the diversified development of painting and art design. However, it should also be noted that perspective is not always highly useful in certain painting creations and art designs. This does not mean that art professionals can neglect the study of perspective; on the contrary, it remains a necessary theoretical foundation for artistic modeling techniques. Perspective involves a wide range of research content, including not only the principles of perspective for eye-level, upward, and downward views but also the principles of perspective for shadows, reflections, and atmospheric color, etc. The theoretical framework is vast. In practical applications of perspective, different art disciplines have varying emphases in their research on the theoretical aspects of perspective. For beginners in art and those specializing in the study of perspective, the differences in the scope of research on perspective theory are even greater. This book aims to be suitable for teaching the fundamental theory of painting techniques. In terms of content, it emphasizes practicality and the basic principles of painting methods.
