11. PROJECT DATECLIENT 1936THE KAUFMANNS Fallingwater Mill Run, Pennsylvania PERSPECTIVE DRAWING BY FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT. NOTICE THE RED HORIZONTAL LINE (HORIZON) AND THE LINES OF PERSPECTIVE THAT GO OFF TO THE RIGHT AND TO THE LEFT.

12. Stop here... until you’re ready for the step by step instructions for the two point perspective architectural drawing

13. Step 1: Using your ruler and a regular pencil, LIGHTLY draw a horizontal line (horizon) in the lower third of your paper. LIGHTLY

14. Step 2: Using your ruler, draw a vertical line near the center of the paper (a little to the left of center) Emphasize that ALL lines be done lightly because some will be erased at the end of the project. LIGHTLY! YOU’LL BE ERASING LATER

15. Step 3: Place a dot (vanishing point) at both ends of the horizontal line (horizon).

16. Step 4: Using a ruler, draw a line from the vanishing points to the top and bottom of the vertical line.

17. Step 5: Draw the ends of the house by drawing two vertical lines, forming a left and right side of a box.

18. Step 6: To draw the roof, first make an “X” on the short side of the house from corner to corner. Where the “X” intersects, draw a vertical line into the air.

19. Step 7: The triangle that forms the peak of the roof is made from this vertical line.

20. Step 8: The top of the roof is drawn from the top of the triangle to the right hand vanishing point. Match the angle of the roof peak to the angle of the opposite peak (slide your ruler).

21. Step 9: Erase extra lines so that the outline of the house is defined. Keep part of the horizon line as well. WOW - YOU’VE JUST COMPLETED A DRAWING OF A HOUSE USING TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE!

22. Step 10: Continue to add other features to your house, like a door and windows, using your ruler and one vanishing point. Remember that the sides will be vertical (just like the sides of the house).

23. Step 11: If you wish, you may add a fence and/or sidewalk(s), using one vanishing point at a time.

24. Step 12: Erase all extra lines.

25. Step 13: Using watercolor pencils, darken lines on the house and lightly color in your masterpiece. Add some scenery like sky, trees, flowers and grass or cactus and rocks.

26. Step 14: FINAL STEP Dip watercolor brush in water, then lightly wash over individual areas. Watercolor pencils will soften and blend. Make sure to rinse the brush between colors to avoid a brown muddy mess. Sign your artwork then glue to mounting paper. Congratulations - you’re done!
