    Atmospheric water vapor is diffusing the distant mountain clarity, and reduces the contrast.

    The reason blue is the color of distance has to do with the spectrum of light. Blue/purple light travels the farthest, so it is the prominent color that shows up at a distance.
    This is the first of your videos that I have seen. I like your style of painting and your kind demeanor. I shall return for more videos.

      I promise it really is about the practice,. You get better by doing the best you can as often as you can, & you improve. When there’s something I’m having trouble with, I’ll do the best I can, then choose another subject to paint that has the same thing that challenged me in the last one, so I get more practice at it. A lot of it is muscle memory. That’s another quality you improve so thatbyou don’t have to think so much about it, & can paint quicker & with more confidence like Kevin does... but also imagine how long he’s been painting landscapes.You’ll get there😉

      @@elbaz860 Yes, he has. He has also painted distant mountains many times, but viewers still find the above video, with its detailed and specific description and demonstration, useful; and might find a similar tree video equally useful. I know I would, as I still have problems with trees.

    This is called atmospheric perspective, and is the same for art, film and real world. Depth of field means the area in focus relative to the foreground and background being out of focus in photography. So the title should be 3 Secrets To Creating ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE In A Painting!

    Great video. Really easy to grasp.
    So basically what's happening is atmospheric perspectivel right? A shift in the spectrum? Where in the further you move away reds and yellows fade and blues become more predominant at the background.

  • @Mustangmom2k
    @Mustangmom2k 3 года назад +13

  • @YoungNobleWoman
    @YoungNobleWoman 8 месяцев назад

    I know this video is a couple years old, but yes, your explanation of "seeing the sky" is scientifically accurate - if you think about how the answer to the question "why is the sky blue" is that the blue light is reflected by the atmosphere while the other colors are absorbed, what you're seeing between you and the mountain is the exact same reflection process at the same wavelength!
    Also, the painting on the right hand side would be perfect for something like the eastern Sierra Nevada in California, where there's just these massively tall mountains looming so close to you that it feels like they literally take up more than half the sky on one side of the landscape.

    • @KevinOilPainting
      @KevinOilPainting  3 года назад +1

      It would be a different technique because of the dry times. For acrylic I would try "Dry brush Blending" for most of the mountain. That would get you softer edges and a more misty look.

    @digitalbacklot 2 года назад +2

    As a pro Disney Fine Artist, I'd love to see a video of how you arrive at how much detail you deside to put in any particular object. How much is to much and how do you balance that detail back to front so as to not overwork a scene and how yo control the viewers eye. Painters from the Renaissance Era were quite good at it. Great lesson Kevin, you're an exceptional teacher.

    • @cmecu_seemeseeyou9330
      @cmecu_seemeseeyou9330 Год назад

      When I paint , when i think about detail, I go by a rule, the more detailed something is, the more accurate it needs to be. And normally anything more detailed are the things closet to you up in the fore front. For example, if I do a refection of a tree in water, if its a pond int he back ground, I just need to put in the general colors reflected into the water, no exact shapes like the tree itself, if I were to make the reflection like a mirror image with a lot of detail, it would immediately pull the reflection close up to the forefront, and it wouldnt look right.
