Creating Distance

This mini course uses the video instruction from Dianne’s lessons in Series 39, Creating Distance.

As images move into a distance their characteristics gradually change. We will see value contrasts decreasing from strong to close, hues might gently merge from one to another, intensities often become more neutral, textures can progressively disappear, and sizes will steadily become smaller.

We can create distance in our paintings by interpreting these changes in our images. The four lessons in this course guide us in that direction.
