How do you create distance in landscape paintings?
The effect of distance in landscape painting is achieved by use of "atmospheric perspective." This is the practice of using haze to suggest distance. Two mountains in the background can appear equal in apparent size, yet different in lightness. This means that the lighter mountain is, in fact, bigger, because it is much farther away. The haze of the atmosphere obscures objects more, the farther they are away.
