Description
This class will teach students about creating the illusion of depth in a watercolor painting by mimicking atmospheric perspective. When viewing a layered landscape, the atmosphere causes the furthest areas in the background to appear lighter and with simpler shapes, while the foreground closest to the viewer is darker and much more detailed. We will even use salt to enhance this illusion in the foreground. Capture the beauty of desert landscapes and sign up for this class today!
