Things farther away are lighter in value
Corot’s ‘Bridge at Narni’ is one of the most recognizable landscape works from the 19th century. It is also an excellent example of how things become lighter as they recede into the distance. You can see how the mountains in the background are much lighter in the distance in comparison to the darker green bushes you see in the foreground of the work.
Next time you go outside for a walk or to paint, take a minute to notice that what is far off in the distance is much lighter than what is in the middle ground or foreground. When you apply this to your work you will achieve a much greater sense of space and ‘air’.
The foreground tends to be warmer in temperature and the background cooler
The foreground tends to be warmer in temperature – but there are certainly exceptions. Noticing these moments and making the foreground warmer in your painting will help to create a greater sense of space. As can be seen in the painting above by JMW Turner, you will notice that the foreground is primarily green/ yellow. This green/yellow coloring becomes increasingly ‘bluish’ as it recedes to the background.
So, what recedes into the background of your landscape is generally cooler in temperature. As you can see in the above painting above, what is farthest in the background are the blue mountains – the coolest color in the entire painting. You will create much more depth in your piece if you follow this rule of thumb. Like with everything though, there are exceptions to this rule. The best thing you can do is to observe very closely what you are painting.
Always compare certain aspects of the landscape to another. By doing this you are able to deduce what the temperature of something is. For example, if you compare a piece of the foreground of a landscape with some distant mountains – you will be able to deduce whether something is cool or warm. Temperature is relative. It is only when you put something in relation to something else that you can know if it is ‘warmer than’ or ‘cooler than’ something else.

In general, keep sharper edges towards the front and softer edges in the distance
Edges are one of the most important aspects that create interest in paintings. As a general rule of thumb, sharp edges move your eye to the foreground while soft edges make things recede. The above work by Elise Schweitzer is a wonderful example of sharp and soft edges present in a landscape painting.
Notice the sharp edges along the hedges in the front of the painting as well as the sharp edge of the hill in the middle ground. Then, look at how the colors in the background are quite soft in comparison. The brush strokes almost take on a ‘smudged’ appearance.
All of these varying degrees of edges help to create a sense of space in which the sharp edges of the foreground make us feel that space in front. While the soft edges in the background make us feel the vastness of space recede far back.
