A Glimpse Into the Class


Learn about how we see to create believable and accurate drawings using perspective concepts.

Unlock Your Drawing Potential with Perspective!



Perspective is the invisible magic that transforms flat shapes into vivid, believable worlds. If you try to draw without understanding perspective, it’s like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded—frustrating and filled with dead ends. But once you master perspective, you unlock the ability to solve artistic challenges and craft scenes that leap off the page. This essential skill isn’t just a tool; it’s the gateway to seeing and drawing with confidence and imagination. In this class, we’ll uncover the secrets of perspective and empower you to take your art to extraordinary new heights.

Why Learn Perspective

Perspective affects everything in the world around us. If you try to draw the world without knowing how perspective affects objects, it can be very difficult. By learning perspective, you will be able to analyze the challenges perspective presents and easily find the solutions to draw any scene effectively. Understanding perspective is the path to intermediate and advanced drawing, and it will change how you see and draw the world around you. In this class, we will explore the foundations of perspective to push your drawing skills to the next level.

Your Instructor, Kevin McCain





As a seasoned educator with over two decade of experience in the visual arts, Kevin McCain has been dedicated to helping students unlock their artistic potential through the principles of linear perspective.

Kevin's passion for linear perspective is rooted in his belief that it is a foundational tool that enables artists to translate three-dimensional space onto a two-dimensional plane accurately. His commitment to this discipline is evident in his personal artwork, which often explores the interplay of depth, shape, and form, all grounded in the technical precision of perspective drawing. As an instructor, he strives to inspire his students with the same enthusiasm that he brings to his own practice, ensuring that each student leaves his course with a solid grasp of perspective techniques and the confidence to apply them in their own artistic endeavors.
