What is "aerial perspective"?
Aerial perspective is a technique used in art to create the illusion of depth and distance. It involves showing objects that are further away as lighter, less detailed, and often more faded than objects that are closer. This method copies how the atmosphere affects the appearance of objects at different distances, making distant elements appear less clear and more faded. Aerial perspective helps artists make their landscapes and scenes look more realistic by giving a sense of how objects look from a distance.
