COLOR AND SPATIAL DEPTH

Spatial depth using light values of color and smaller shapes that recede into the background:

A gradient is a blend from one color to another. Most paintings have gradients so it is essential to know the principle and execution of gradients



Here are planes of gradients to create the illusion of spatial depth:




This illustration shows how gradient and overlapping objects create the illusion of spatial depth:

The Mountain Exercise uses gradients to create spatial depth.
