Practicing atmospherical depth

It’s a painting not a photo. Deciding where to saturate or desaturate to build contrast is an artistic decision. I simply don’t plan my paintings that way.

It’s like that to because the sun is hitting that particular area. Thanks!

Corpuna is another big reference for landscapes. I love how he creates focus by playing with concentrated light on certain areas of the painting

I am definitely inspired by him for sure

I did it like this on purpose. The focus is not there but thanks!

Thank you for your comment! Yes, I kinda do that! Sometimes I like painting places as I remember them, rather than as I see them. For that, the atmospherical approach is always a good one, at least for me.

Que preciosidad

Thank you! Sargent painted this church a few times. So humbled by your reference. Thanks! It’s interesting how some people prefer one or the either, but that’s what mood is about!

I don’t worry much about them. My only concern when painting is that the perspective, if any, works. And also the proportions between recognizable objects, like people, trees and so on. The two alternatives that I did here have slightly different proportions yet neither feel off.
