Artists make shapes in the background smaller than shapes in the foreground to communicate their distance from the viewer. How else might a landscape artist show shapes in the background to depict their distance from viewer
One way a landscape artist could show shapes in the background to depict their distance from the viewer is by using muted colors. Objects in the background tend to appear less vibrant and more subdued due to atmospheric effects, so using softer, less saturated colors can help create the illusion of depth. Additionally, artists can use techniques such as overlapping shapes, diminishing detail, and creating a hazy or blurred effect to show that objects in the background are farther away. These visual cues can help create a sense of depth and distance in a landscape painting.
