Obviously in the case of a landscape it is much more pronounced and there are many more tools to choose from. It the case of a still life, it is enough to communicate the feeling of atmosphere and space around the chosen subject(s).<br /><br />If you look at the reference photo, both the foreground and the background are simple, flat, almost 2-dimensional blue gray surface. There is nothing interesting and exciting around the main subject. There is no sense of "atmosphere" and "space" around and behind the subject. Ask your "creative self" what you would like the viewer to imagine while looking at your painting and try to communicate it in a visual form. It might be an aged, cracked wall full of old fashioned character and charm. It might be a small glimpse of light penetrating the dark scene and disappearing in the distance. <br /><br />Please look at this artist's work for some ideas and let me know if it helps to visualize what I was having in mind. http://antonovart.com/Oil_paintings_archive/index.htm<br /><br />If you still have questions, please ask.Lela Stankovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304614164163728623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734923695875024838.post-2382450338030368922011-01-31T16:44:59.076-08:002011-01-31T16:44:59.076-08:00Could you help me, I am not sure what you mean by ...Could you help me, I am not sure what you mean by an aerial perspective with an undefined space behind the jar. Do yo me it is supposed to look as if we are looking down on the subject?Debbie Laterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863471177645929083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734923695875024838.post-89591206886696404512011-01-31T04:37:16.728-08:002011-01-31T04:37:16.728-08:00When I saw this composition, I thought the backgro...When I saw this composition, I thought the background doesn't look right.<br /><br />After reading the post with the picture, I know now that the background is purposely left as it is so artists can use their own imagination. <br /><br />I will be looking forward to paintings on this one!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707943434527794112noreply@blogger.com
