I have attended so many classes on color theory and this is the first time that I have clearly understood how to add depth. You are an amazing teacher. I am a beginner and this has helped me immensely. Thank you for being awesome,

Artists would say this is the most important lesson to know. Like with a rose. The light and depth of the colors fool the eyes, makes the art appear real. Realistic type art need these hues.

Your teaching is amazing!!! I actually took art classes and teacher taught nothing! "Take a book & paint." That was the teaching! I was looking for a way to make my flat art look dimensional and I found you. Thank you so very much for explaining everything and now I am going to put your teaching into practice. Your head and shoulders above a lot of teachers so God bless you and keep smiling because you're making me smile.❤

GREAT video! The best discussion of creating depth in an art piece. I first learned about this about 40 years ago in a Watercolor magazine article. You’d think that in the intervening decades there would be more good info about creating depth. But to this day in many of the art forums, people show their “flat” art and ask the question: “What’s wrong with my painting?” It could be many things, but most of the time with landscape work it’s simply that they have not followed the rules of creating depth. This is great work. I’ll be posting a link to this video to help folks out. Best, Dan.

Dof depth of field came to mind watching this. So the camera analogy was good, but with say a wide angle lens for landscape, having a smaller aperture increases the depth of field. Another term I believe is aerial perspective.
