I have often dreamed of making this video where I simplify many of the artistic principles for creating depth in paintings. Because we are trying, as artists, to capture a 3-Dimensional world and transfer our interpretation onto a 2-Dimensional surface, it is CRUCIAL that we understand these rules.
I pray these steps will be an "AHA!" moment for some beginning artists, and maybe even strengthen the skills of more experienced artists.

Wow! It is definitely the best lesson i ever had in 15 years about color! Thank you so much!💗💗💗

I have attended so many classes on color theory and this is the first time that I have clearly understood how to add depth. You are an amazing teacher. I am a beginner and this has helped me immensely. Thank you for being awesome,

[bardgoldn]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you skipping the jargon and getting right to the point. Finally I am starting to understand. The captions below also really helped. I was really pulling my hair out before I found your video.

Wow, if all art teachers are like you, everyone would know how to paint. You are awesome! You packed the basic concept into one simple video. Amazing!

GREAT video! The best discussion of creating depth in an art piece.

I first learned about this about 40 years ago in a Watercolor magazine article. You’d think that in the intervening decades there would be more good info about creating depth. But to this day in many of the art forums, people show their “flat” art and ask the question: “What’s wrong with my painting?”

It could be many things, but most of the time with landscape work it’s simply that they have not followed the rules of creating depth.

This is great work. I’ll be posting a link to this video to help folks out.

Best,

Dan.

You are an awesome instructor. I am glad I found you channel. This video took away many of my unknowns and frustration. Thank you. Much gratitude for a happy day, today.

Your teaching is amazing!!! I actually took art classes and teacher taught nothing! "Take a book & paint." That was the teaching! I was looking for a way to make my flat art look dimensional and I found you. Thank you so very much for explaining everything and now I am going to put your teaching into practice. Your head and shoulders above a lot of teachers so God bless you and keep smiling because you're making me smile.❤

Your awesome . I'm addicted to painting and it's only been 2 weeks . I feel so much calmer in my everyday life, less anxiety. Painting is a great form of meditation. The way you explained it all was like a eureka moment.
