Artists will learn how to take a 'flat' painting & create a sense of depth using 5 different techniques to animate the composition & increase the overall depth & realism. The 5 key concepts featured are contrast, colour saturation, perspective, detail & unifying washes. Being able to manipulate the sense of 'pushing forward' and 'pulling back' using the unifying washes is the most unique concept not addressed that extensively in other books. Readers will find step-by-step demonstrations, short exercises, close-up details, before-&-after comparisons & samples of finished work extremely useful in conveying the importance of the 5 key concepts.
