Three new students!

The thing we were trying to learn in this lesson is the relationship of color to objects in the distance.  For example, distant mountains appear blue and purple and when they are closer to us you can see the green of the grass or the dried grass field in the foreground.

Another good example of how objects fade into the distance and have more detail in the foreground.

Good job done by a 5 year old!  Doesn't his mountain look sooo far away?

8 years old and she has a small sun in the sky too!

I like the clouds in the sky. Looks like a nice day!  Purple mountains look great with a golden grassy field.

Now this looks like a windy day and I like the way her grasses turned out in the foreground!  Nice tree too.

You did it!  I feel like the mountains and hills are very far away!

Another example.  It's harder to see, but if you want to practice again, here is something to look at so you can get an idea of the colors to use.  Or, pick your own colors!  Just remember that colors fade and get more blue or purple in the distance and details get more clear and brighter or darker in the foreground.
