About This Title
For this month's second video we are looking at creating depth in forest scenes.There’s lots of artistic devices we can use to help create a sense of depth, we can vary the tone making the trees in the background lighter by adding more water to the paint mix, we can use perspective making the trees smaller and higher up on the page, we can allow branches to overlap each other creating a sense of depth, we can have more detail on the trees in foreground, we can make trees in the background cooler in tone, and we can even use mixed media like pan pastels to create a hazy effect, pushing the background trees further into the distance. I hope this video is helpful!
