perspective

KlodaX

as far as I have ever been thought...

perspective gets smaller in the distance ...

also gets darker ... as I have seen perspective also gets more blurred...

blurred in photos gets lighter ... arguing against perspective gets lighter...

I'm wrong I know... but without making things lighter in the distance ...

is there a technique in making things that are blured ... making them in the distance ... without making them darker?

What do you mean? If you focus on something in the distance it's not necessarily more blurred, and not necessarily darker.

Are you refering to the effects of distance in photography?

sorry that first post was kinda vague ....

what are the techniques of creating a perspective illusion with paint?

Gyck

Ah, that makes more sense.

Well, that's up to what you want to visually describe, I guess.

Once you move from visualising the real world, you can do what you want.
If you want to visualise the real world I'd say you should either take a photo of what you want to represent or sketch it/build up some studies. Chances are you'll capture all detail if you sketch it. Decide what you want to emphisise: you have control and no one will know what you indend to do until you produce the final image.

Most of the images I've ever sketched have been represented with true prespective and with perspective detail, regardless of the distance. This is an unreal representation. In reality if you focus on a scene you'll obviously see only part of the scene with perfect clarity, it depends on what you focus on. Someone viewing an image you present to them can't refocus any part of the image: you, the artist, impose your viewpoint/focus on the viewer.

Things don't look darker the further away they are. The colour will look less vibrant maybe with a blue tint because you are seeing through more air. It's called atmospheric perspective. When you look at a green hill in the distance it looks a faded green colour because of this.

When you draw a scene from life you can focus on each part of it and no part of your drawing might be blurred. If you draw from an existing photo there will probably be a part of the image that is not in focus because of decisions the photographer has taken. A general rule for realisitic painting is that things in the distance will be more blurred.

your post is confusing. There are no proper sentences and the way you are using the word perspective doesn't make sense.

sorry again for the origional post ... I have a tendancy to skip words... or even full sentences as the case may be!

Thanks for the help. I think I have a better idea now.

its only blurred if you don't want the viewer to focus on it.

things in the distance are only blurred because there is a slight mist of blue infront of them. Not because our eyes can't focus.

If you where to draw something in black and white... bold lines not shading.. how would you make it appear in the distance?

Reducing the amount of detail as the image recedes is probably the easiest approach.
