One point perspective though is of only limited use, the main problem being that the perspective is too pronounced for small products making them looking bigger than they actually are. Leonardo da Vinci distrusted Brunelleschi's formulation of perspective because it failed to take into account the appearance of objects held very close to the eye. He built his understanding of perspective not only upon the rigid formulations of rays of light, but what he directly observed. His understanding of perspective thus took in not only the light, but the air it traveled through. He believed that the way an object's color seemed to change with distance, and the way an object's borders become indistinct with distance, are primary parts of perspective.
