Horizon line:  The actual horizon, where earth and sky appear to meet, excluding obstructions like hills or mountains. Also called eye level. Parallel:  Said of any two lines or surfaces that are always the same distance from each other. Perpendicular:  At a right, or 90 degree angle to a given line or plane. An absolutely vertical line and an absolutely horizontal line are perpendicular to each other. Picture plane:  The surface of your paper or canvas.
