Found another one from that time, done with gouache.

    On an unrelated note, I’m working my way through your suggestion Perspective Made Easy. It’s absolutely mind-blowing. I used to scoff at these mediaeval artists who didn’t know perspective, because how could you not know something like that? Well it turns out I don’t know it either. It’s absolutely revelatory.

      Love to hear it, Case! It’s fascinating how it took us nearly 50000 years of drawing to develop the understanding to acurately render 3d objects and space in a flat surface. Folks in medieval times made good progress, they really tried to crack it , but alas, It just had to cook for a few centuries more. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I find the architecture in medieval art really charming, though hahaha.
