For example, if you compare a piece of the foreground of a landscape with some distant mountains – you will be able to deduce whether something is cool or warm.

By doing this you are able to deduce what the temperature of something is. The best thing you can do is to observe very closely what you are painting.Īlways compare certain aspects of the landscape to another. Like with everything though, there are exceptions to this rule. You will create much more depth in your piece if you follow this rule of thumb. As you can see in the above painting above, what is farthest in the background are the blue mountains – the coolest color in the entire painting. So, what recedes into the background of your landscape is generally cooler in temperature. This green/yellow coloring becomes increasingly ‘bluish’ as it recedes to the background. As can be seen in the painting above by JMW Turner, you will notice that the foreground is primarily green/ yellow. Noticing these moments and making the foreground warmer in your painting will help to create a greater sense of space.
