#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.”
