I am an oil painter and also work with pen & ink and colored pencils. Even so, this is an excellent lesson in atmospheric perspective. It applies to all media. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I just wanted to thank you again for making and sharing these videos. They are a huge blessing for those of us who can't make it to your courses. Training of this level and such insights are so very appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks for helping us understand atmospheric perspective and how to layer in small sections dark over light over lighter grey scale colors. You sure have a great understanding of this concept. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing your free tutorials. I've found them incredibly informative and an excellent education in and of themselves. I've per-ordered your How To Draw book and hope that the proceeds help you continue to produce these videos. thanks,
The How to Draw book is being printed now and the Nov. 1 date this year looks good. Fingers are crossed for a week or so earlier if shipping goes well. The other two books were just pushed way out for now as my schedule is just a bit too full. If all goes well next year they will be earlier but after so many delays we just went way out to be sure of it happening...hopefully. :)
Thank you so much for helping me to understand the perspective of the paintings. I love the number idea, I think that will really help me personally. P.S. To bad small minded people have to leave small minded and rude remarks. If the did not like it why would they keep watching?
I have always known how to use shadows to create depth (specifically on close-up objects). But atmospheric perception and the ranges of dark and light shades of color never occurred to me. Nor did using the color palette in Photoshop (or in my case On1) to measure said ranges. Although after hearing your explanation, it totally feels like a "duh" moment. lol! Thank you again for such a great video
Great tutorial as always! I've preordered your newest How-to-Draw book, would you happen to know the date it will be released/sent to the Australia region? Thankyou again! I can't wait to get it!
Hey Scott, which book are you referring to in this video? This is just the type of thing I've been looking for. I'm just working my way through your Rendering matte surfaces DVD's at the minute, they're absolutely fantastic. I wish that's how art was taught in school. Keep up the good work!
Hey guys... i was just browsing 9gag and found the best example of line weight and atmospheric perspective that i could find. just google or search at 9gag: "The view of Eiffel Tower in a foggy night" (youtube doesn't allow links in the comments) Hope it helps to study.
Is there a formula for atmospheric perspective? like every 100 ft on a regular day X amount of contrast is lost or every mile add so much of a colored overlay
Christopher Stapleton you can get them on Amazon, Blick art stores (online and in person), Micheal’s, ArtMart, really most physical and online arts and crafts stores. I really do recommend trying them if I’m not replying too late and you already have.
would have preferred to show some more of the canyon landscape in the second half of the video feels like, yes you can see some but when i tell you to, you go home and don't watch anymore
Thank You Scott Robertson for this tutorial. I have a question about the atmospheric perspective. I understood with the first example that top lights on the foreground are at top contrast and in background are both around the number 5, so it gives me the perfect idea of the value change and contrast change. A light at 0 with shadow at 10 in foreground can be a light at 4.5 with shadow at 5.5 in background and the further you go towards the horizon the more you'll be likely to find (in theory) a surface that looks flat with lights and shadows at the same level 5. This is what I understood, please correct me if I'm mistaken. But than I noticed in the second example that you created a value scale that reveals a background far lighter than 5. This means that both lights and shadows are lighter than 5, so in the distance there's not just a desaturation and a lower contrast but also a shift in the value that can pushes both values towards the white? The point is: am I forced to have a Background with the tendency to 5 like I understood (I may have misunderstood) in the first example or I can assign other values like lights at 2 and shadows at 3.5 or lights at 8 and shadows at 9 for example? I mean... What's the proportion of the change? My assumption of the value 5 on the horizon looks weird because it would mean the air has a value 5?!? So I must simply rise the value? And this would mean the air is a value 0? Or I completely got all of this wrong? P. S. . I choose your book "How To Render" and I started to study it today and I'm really liking it. My best compliments! Very good work!
These videos are amazing free lessons. So effective and informative. You're a great teacher

Randomly found this video and it was soooo helpful !
Thanks so much Scott! Really getting excited for the How to Draw book!
Great tutorial, thank you very much Mr. Robertson

Very nice video
Thank you so much Scott!
Thank you so much Scott, this is a very useful tutorial for lot of us
Great stuff, cleared up a lot for me. Thanks
great stuff, man ~~>
Thank you, Mr. Robertson, sir!
Damn, this video was very helpful. Very excited for your book.
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge sir!^_^
Thanks again Scott. Would love to see a fully rendered version of the marker rocks here... hmm? hmm? how about it?? :)
Thanks Scott, you rock!

Such a relaxing voice lol, scott thanks for all the amazing info
Thanks Scott!

My books you want are How To Draw and How To Render. They each have a lot of additional video tutorials as well.
Hey Scott, when are your new books coming out, specifically the how to render materials book?
Who dare to hit unlike on this?!
Is it possible for the reverse to happen, where the background is dark and the foreground is light? Perhaps in a night scene?
great!

Look at these rocks
Thanks a lot! :)
Where does one purchase these Copic markers?
Christopher Stapleton you can get them on Amazon, Blick art stores (online and in person), Micheal’s, ArtMart, really most physical and online arts and crafts stores. I really do recommend trying them if I’m not replying too late and you already have.
Don't forget to drink your water
Thanks for reminding me
@@ponraul1221 and stretch
that line he drew tho..1:18 damn
very small rocks!
would have preferred to show some more of the canyon landscape in the second half of the video
feels like, yes you can see some but when i tell you to, you go home and don't watch anymore
