Sunset
Hello again!
heres a scenery with a couple watching the sunset with 2 moons at the background lol i'm weird like that ;) just sharing a fantasy world i imagine in my crazy head. ^^
You know how everything on the foreground is solid and as it fades, the colour goes, it gives it that haze effect, the colour loss - kinda thing? If you know what I mean? like with the trees for example - how exactly do you paint that? It's lovely, gives it an atmosphere/texture, is there a general rule for it or anything?
hi there! yup i know what you mean, it's actually a play on values which i learned a lot from Xia here -> http://idrawgirls.blogspot.com/2008/10/values-study-exercise-how-to-shade.html
Usually anything closer to us looks sharper and darker compared to the background which is lighter, but it also depends on our lighting. As for the trees, it's a mix of me painting and use of brush, but i make sure that i pick (using color picker in PS) the same color for the trees from the background, so it blends well and the values are the same. i'm not sure of a general rule or anything like that lol i'm still learning myself ;) but i think in terms of values, never pick a value from the foreground and mix it at the background or vice versa, that will totally mess our values.
Well thanks for your comments too, glad you like it :)
