Media: Acrylic on gessobord
Size: 10x8 in
In this painting I used the fence to create a sense of depth. A
principle of perspective drawing is objects get smaller and less
defined as they recede into space. For example, the fence post that is
closest to us is clearly defined and contains a lot of detail but the
ones in the distance are many times smaller and aren't detailed at all.
I enjoyed working with the color in this painting, I used the blue/purple of the shadow side of the fence to contrast with the yellow of the field. I like how the barn provides a small touch of red to the painting.
