LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
In the premium lesson, we analyze Hiroshi Yoshida's "Rapids" to understand his masterful use of perspective in depicting water. You'll learn:
- How water shapes change when viewed from different angles, compressing into ellipses when seen along the flow.
- The structure of waterfalls, including the top plane and the sloping front plane with subtle curves.
- The rhythm in composition, balancing light and dark areas without sacrificing perspective.
- The use of cross contours and the cylinder effect to convey depth and movement in water.
- How the size and structure of froth and wavelets diminish as they recede into the distance.
This lesson helps you recognize these techniques so you can apply them to your own work.

![Marshall Vandruff]()
Let's examine how Hiroshi Yoshida masterfully uses perspective, ellipses, planes, and cross contours to create water that feels real and artful, in his painting of "Rapids”.
Had to watch some youtube videos to try and give this one my best shot. I learned the word "negative space". So apparently I have to learn how to draw with the back ground colors as well 😩 jk. I look forward to coming back to water when I have more skills and giving it another shot.
