Horizon Line
Vanishing Point
Parallel lines appear to get closer to each other as they approach the
vanishing point on the horizon
line.
The railroad ties lie perpendicular
to our line of sight.
The rails are parallel to our line of sight.
Horizon Line Horizon Line
The vanishing point is always on the horizon line.
Horizon Line
Vanishing Point
All parallel lines converge at the same vanishing point.
Horizon Line
All vanishing points go to the focal point of the painting.
VP 1 VP 2 VP 3
There are separate vanishing points since the buildings are NOT parallel to to line of sight.
The horizon line is at the same eye level as the people in the painting.
