This video is exactly what I want to know about contrast, dept and how to use that colour mixing.. Thanks Kevin. This video really gave me a understanding and clear concept.
Stunning yet precise demonstration of the "creation of distance" illusion through right colour, correct amount of contrast and just as needed sharpness. Wonderful! Thanks buddy.
I observed this after looking at countless Thomas Kinkade paintings. His backgrounds of mountains, trees, and even distant waterfalls are usually very soft and pale. You just gave words and explanation to my observations that make it make sense!
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 absolutely love your style & paintings. The explanations & brush strokes are so easy to follow. Just one request please try to do more acrylic lessons. Learning a lot from these videos! Thank you!
*Nice Tutorial-very informative* 👍 however the biggest challenge would be balancing background with foreground to comple the illusion of panoramic 3d view, Hope we see your next video with the mountains in background and running stream in forgound.👍
Learning a lot from your videos great job, 2 things I'm struggling with as a complete beginner is mixing the colours and knowing how much detail to use for background, mid and foreground, lots to learn but you inspire me to keep trying
I have learned more from this short video than I have watching other longer ones.. bob ross and Kevin here... one thing I do have trouble with is the amount of paint I'm using and mixing the precise colour,,but hey I've only just started week ago...
Was struggling with this technique and you explained in a way that made sense to me. Thank you so much for giving me my confidence back! I absolutely am obsessed with your work. They are all so beautiful
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.
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.
I really like the painting you draw .These videos are really helpful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I'm also an artist and these paintings are my inspiration.....lots of love to you
Thanks for showing my Painting in this video. 4th one is mine 😂 Also pushing that mountain so far away lesson. Lesson learned 👍 Thank you so much Kevin. Swapneel From India.
Your lesson is what I was looking for. I am painting a back drop on a model railroad layout and need distant hills. I haven't painted anything for years and had forgotten how to give distance to hills and mountains.
Excellent! We have seen the wet on wet two amigos that always have the mountains so detailed... while they look good as well, this example gives the deep, far distances. Sometime, I would like to see something like this with the Appalachian style mountains which I love to paint but sometimes struggle with.
Very useful, thanks. Could you do a similar video on trees: how to paint a background forest, middle-ground group of trees and a foreground tree on top of each other so that they don't merge and are beautiful?
@@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.
Hi Kevin! Thank you so much for all your great videos! I am new at painting. Have been drawing my whole life but haven't done much painting, so your videos really helps! I am using acrylic paints, 'cause I like the fact that they dry fast. I would love if you please, pretty please, could make a video of painting northern lights using acrylics, 'cause I'm really struggling with getting it to look right.
You are a fantastic teacher/instructor I would love to see you on a weekly PBS series.
Bullseye. One of the most useful video on landscape painting ever.
You are right and a beautiful landscape
Wow. You're a great teacher (and a little funny). Thanks for the lesson. 👍
Your explanations make a lot of sense.
Awesome. So weird. I’m working on a painting that I needed a transparent mountain. Found you!! Thank you
Me too!
I love your passion when you explain things is so beautiful to watch. Thank you! Good night from Brazil!
You are right and a beautiful landscape
Wonderful! This answered my question about highlights on the distant mountains.

Very in depth and descriptive video. Sure it will help me and countless others in their paintings. Nicely done..

Atmospheric water vapor is diffusing the distant mountain clarity, and reduces the contrast.
This had some very useful tips, ty.
Awesome demo Kevin! Thank you so much
I love your teachings, thanks for sharing.
