#30×30 2026 : Le Champ-de-Mars
This is the backside of our city hall, (spire) and the old courthouse (dome), which I’ve squished together and cartooned, for the sake of my own amusement.
I have always managed to get by without learning perspective. Which is very strange for someone who does so much Urban Sketching.
It’s definitely a character flaw that I don’t buckle down and solve this.
On the other hand, there are plenty of great artists in human history who didn’t give a tilted-table for perspective. So I feel I’m in good company.
From wikipedia: “This was noted by Braque in 1957, who stated, “The hard-and-fast rules of perspective … were a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress; Paul Cézanne and after him Picasso and myself can take a lot of credit for this.”

And here I thought you knew perspective so well, you could loosen up and not be to finicky about it. Maybe it’s in your genes.
You don’t know perspective? Now you tell us ha ha (could’ve fooled me).
I don’t! I just draw it by eye :) if a person who does know perspective looks at it, I’m sure they cringe inside :)
I don’t think they’d cringe; rather, they’d be amazed that you got it right anyways.
Oh Marc! I DO love this one. I could feel the “pressure” fly out of my head when I read your comments, and those of such accomplished artists as well. Wow! That was gooooood.
I kind of see your work as your handwriting…which of course it is…as is the work of each of us. We are what we are. Let’s embrace that and go forward with energy and glee!
