Painting Perspective Isn't What You Think

[@samanthareimerart4627]

Great breakdown of atmospheric perspective Danny. I’m often tempted to over-paint and put too much detail throughout a landscape, so your tip of ‘breaking down the scene in layers,’ is very helpful.

Thanks Samantha! I have that same temptation too! Sometimes the differences between different layers is subtle and I'm tempted to make a distant layer of scene too dark which always messes things up! haha. I had that happen yesterday in fact. I think this is one of those things where you have to paint with a combination of what you see and what you know.

That demonstration in building distances with simplified values was helpful, thank you, MSG Leum

Atmospheric perspective is very hard to do here in Colorado as there's not always a lot of moisture/particulates in our thin mountain air; so one has to tweak reality a little in order to create depth. Thanks for the reminder. :)

That’s interesting Laura! I’m sure every climate and locale has differences with this. Observation is key! Thanks for sharing!
