Atmospheric
Perspective, also called Aerial Perspective,
is
the phenomenon that far away objects start to fade as they take on atmospheric
colors.
An
object will lose color saturation as gets further away from the viewer.
Thus
it becomes more of a blue grey and lighter in value.
This
is most easily seen and represented in photos and paintings of mountains and
islands.
However,
it is also important to remember this in all of your paintings.
To
indicate distance within a still life or even a portrait, the further back an
object is, it will take on a blue grey tone.
