An extended view drawn from a height of about 30 feet from a road that descends about 45 feet.
Fig. 103. Farningham.
In drawing a landscape such as Fig. 103 we have to bear in mind the height of the horizon, which being exactly opposite the eye, shows us at once which objects are below and which are above us, and to draw them accordingly, especially roofs, buildings, walls, hedges, &c.; also it is well to sketch in the different fields figures of men and cattle, as from the size of these we can judge of the rest.

The Picture Standing on the Ground
Let K represent a frame placed vertically and at a given distance in front of us. If stood on the ground our foreground will touch
the base line of the picture, and we can fix up a standard of measurement both on the base and on the side as in this sketch, taking 6 feet as about the height of the figures.
