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,

Best lesson ever. First time in 32 years. You broke my curse :) god bless

Wow! It is definitely the best lesson i ever had in 15 years about color! Thank you so much!💗💗💗

Your paintings are stunningly beautiful and your lessons are amazing, easy to understand and great learning for us. Thank you. 👍👍👍

You are the best teacher ever!❤❤❤❤

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.❤

Wow , if all art teachers are like you, everyone would know how to paint. You are awesome! You packed the basic concept into one simple video. Amazing!

As an architect and painter this is the best video on depth so far. Wow thanks!!

Your awesome . I'm addicted to painting and it's only been 2 weeks . I feel so much calmer in my everyday life,less anxiety. Painting is a great form of meditation. The way you explained it all was like a eureka moment.

You're an amazing teacher and artists

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.

You explained it so simply, i think i and a child could understand it.. 😊

I've never tried painting with acrylic before but I think I'm gonna try. I'm going for that LeRoy Neiman style. I don't know how he did it but his stuff is so good.

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.

I feel I have found the right teacher for me, thank's mommy

You explain so easy. Thank u ! Helps me a lot.

Wow, great video. Thanks!

Thank you so much for putting up this video

This is exactly what I need! I’ve been struggling with depth/perspective and your explanation is incredibly helpful. Thank you Susan!

Thank you for sharing this❤ you are an amazing teacher. As an artist, I always wonder why mountains in distance look blue, you clarified that today. Thank you

Nice overview and explanation. Those colour wheels are a great reference tool :-)

Beautifully explained these basic lessons.

This was the first tutorial of your’s that I have followed . Your instructions were excellent! Easy to follow and you are fun to listen to. I have subscribed to your channel . Looking forward to more of your pastel tutorials, I typically paint with watercolours or acrylics . Cannot wait to try the alcohol washes that you demonstrated in a follow up video.

Super useful tutorial, thanks Susan

Thank you so much!! This is very confusing, but you simplified it so much that I feel I do have a better understanding!! Thank you for beginner lessons and details.

Excellent video, really good explanations, Thank you

This is the best example I’ve seen on how to create depth! I have a painting I don’t like that I painted for a friend. She loves it but I refuse to give it to her because I don’t love it. Somethings wrong! Well this it! My colors are the same and the sizes of the flowers in my painting are the same. I really hope I can fix it somehow or just do it over for her. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. You are an amazing teacher.

This is awesome! Great explanation, just what I needed. Thank you so much!!!!❤️

Wow, so helpful. Thank you for sharing

Really wonderful, Susan, thanks so much!

You are FANTASTIC!!! I just forwarded my mom your video.

Wonderfully and very well explained many thank .

Im an artists and art teacher, in Uk, but find your videos really helpful to consolidate my own ideas and remind me of things we share as artists. Thanks and happy art making xx

Easy to follow and such helpful ideas. She is a talented artist and teacher. I have found this to be a rare combination.

Lovely lesson was great and easy to understand

I have watched soooo many videos and formal lessons on color theory and this is by far the best and easiest to comprehend. Everything makes sense as you explained it. Before I saw it more as rules of painting but this makes sense. I never ever write comments on KZfaq videos but I had to do so here. Great lesson. Thank you

You are a REALLY good teacher. thank you

Wow so helpful! you have such a clear way of teaching, and I like that you explain the WHYS of the “rules”, it helps me understand much better. I can easily get thrown off if I didn’t understand why things happen, so it’s much appreciated. 😂

Love your teaching ❤️

So helpful explanation! Many many thanks 😊 🙏

Such PRACTICAL ADVICE - a huge thank you x

Thank you so much!! It was really helpful. You are very good teacher!

Very helpful. Good teacher. Thanks!!!!

This is such a helpful tutorial! I've been trying to understand how to do landscapes with depth for a long time, all I want is to do a bit of background for horses and animals that I paint and I can't seem to do it right 😅 I've watched loads of tutorials and this is the most helpful one by far!

This was immensely helpful and valuable no matter what medium you use. Thanks!

That was great 👍🏽
