How we know there is depth to this space? The objects further are...

• Blurry / pale colours

• Less detailed

These colours recede (i.e., push themselves BACK in the space of a painting)

• Warm

• Complementary

• Cool

• Analogous

To further give the illusion of depth, I could use _________ colours up front, because these colours come forward.

• Cool colours

• Warm colours

• Monochromatic colours

• Neutral colours

To be efficient, and to help with creating depth by overlapping, I should always work __________ to _________ in my painting

• Front to back

• Middle - outwards

• Outside - inwards

• Back to front
