Tel's Hot Tips...Aerial Perspective

For those on Broth who would like to know how to improve their work, I thought I'd like to share a few of the tricks you can use to produce more 'arty' works.

Aerial Perspective is what an artist would use to make objects dissapear into the distance. The technique has two main parts.

Firstly distant objects lose colour, they basicaly fade to grey as they get farther away. Look at the back of my liner in the gallery, the rear is greyed out making it appear further from the observer than the strongly coloured front.

The second effect is to add blue to more distant objects. The cooler a colour is the more distant it appears. Look at pictures of mountains where the most distant are blue and hazy. this is Aerial Perspective at work.
