Thank you Malcolm for demonstrating this topic about the aerial perspective which is so important for the depth of the image.
You can explain it perfectly, professionally, yet in a way that is easy to understand.

Thank you Malcolm i have learned a lot.

What I struggle with is that you seem to put the sky in last and that means painting around what you've already painted and when I do that I always drag the paint from the trees into my sky, wouldn't it be easier to paint the sky first then put trees and buildings on top ?

This is a great video! It's so helpful that you demonstrate what TO do as well as what NOT to do. It's really helpful that you demonstrate these right on the painting - where it all becomes clear!
