This video describes and illustrates principles of aerial perspective that apply to painting water. Representational painters are magicians - we take a 2D surface and convince people it has three dimensions. These principles are essential tools in ...
This full demo incorporates many of the aerial perspective principles laid out in my introductory video. The focus is on how the execution of reflections can indicate three-dimensional distance and depth.
