Standing in the Shoes- Da Vinci

DeCarlo Coleman

The atmospheric perspective in the sketch is shown by the small size of the fisherman in the background and the distance between the fisherman and his bait kit which is in the foreground. The bait kit appears larger in scale compared to the fisherman being that it is in the foreground. The vanishing point is shown through the fish that was caught on the line. There was also a bit of cast shadowing that was expressed on the dock by the bait kit, fishing net and wooden dock posts. The shadowing on the bait kit and fishing hat in the bottom right corner emphasizes the sunlight coming from the left.
