From sketches through to final paintings Geoff Kersey shows how to incorporate linear & arial perspective how to create depth & distance with light & shade & how to breath a sense of realism into a picture. Flat dull landscapes can be changed into vibrant scenes full of life with sunlight & shadows; distance can be enhanced by placing warm colours in the foreground & cool colours in the background; foreground detail & soft background images can lead your eye into a picture. There are many more tricks which can be used to create an illusion of a three dimensional scene. Fields trees roads rivers bridges buildings harbours--whatever the subject you will need to learn about perspective depth & distance.
