I have often dreamed of making this video where I simplify many of the artistic principles for creating depth in paintings. Because we are trying, as artists, to capture a 3-Dimensional world and transfer our interpretation onto a 2-Dimensional surface, it is CRUCIAL that we understand these rules.
I pray these steps will be an "AHA!" moment for some beginning artists, and maybe even strengthen the skills of more experienced artists.
A great set for beginner pastel artists is the Sennelier 120 set of soft pastels called, The Paris Collection: amzn.to/3OzhKST

Wow! It is definitely the best lesson i ever had in 15 years about color! Thank you so much!💗💗💗
Wonderful! Your comment made my night!! Thank you so much!❤️☺️❤️
I have attended so many classes on color theory and this is the first time that I have clearly understood how to add depth. You are an amazing teacher. I am a beginner and this has helped me immensely. Thank you for being awesome,
Artists would say this is the most important lesson to know. Like with a rose. The light and depth of the colors fool the eyes, makes the art appear real. Realistic type art need these hues.
I second this comment! Amazing and many thanks! 🌺
I'm on the same boat, beginner artist with watercolor and creating depth is a big challenge for me. This video helped a lot!
I agree fabulous teacher , I’ve got my pastels out after years and am really enthusiastic again
I agree with this comment. This is what I also wanted to say! You’re a great teacher :)
Your teaching is amazing!!! I actually took art classes and teacher taught nothing! "Take a book & paint." That was the teaching! I was looking for a way to make my flat art look dimensional and I found you. Thank you so very much for explaining everything and now I am going to put your teaching into practice. Your head and shoulders above a lot of teachers so God bless you and keep smiling because you're making me smile.❤
Belle, I am smiling big time because of this comment! I can’t tell you how much it blesses me to know that my efforts and creating videos are helping artists like yourself. I will admit, these videos are a lot of work, and what I do on my channel is truly a labor of love. So your feedback is like beautiful, perfume or anointment of healing to my soul. God bless you sweetheart and I pray you keep learning all you need for your artistic endeavors.
Your paintings are stunningly beautiful and your lessons are amazing, easy to understand and great learning for us. Thank you. 👍👍👍
YAY!! Thank you! @yeshonestly4268 Comments like this are part of why I do this. I love inspiring others, especially in their art journey! Thank you for your sweet comment!
As an architect and painter this is the best video on depth so far. Wow thanks!!
Thank you so much, @sonumbification! Your comment blessed me.
You're an amazing teacher and artists
I've never tried painting with acrylic before but I think I'm gonna try. I'm going for that LeRoy Neiman style. I don't know how he did it but his stuff is so good.
Dof depth of field came to mind watching this. So the camera analogy was good, but with say a wide angle lens for landscape, having a smaller aperture increases the depth of field. Another term I believe is aerial perspective.
I feel I have found the right teacher for me, thank's mommy
Wow, great video. Thanks!
Your awesome . I'm addicted to painting and it's only been 2 weeks . I feel so much calmer in my everyday life,less anxiety. Painting is a great form of meditation. The way you explained it all was like a eureka moment.
That makes me so happy! Thank you so much!
Wow , if all art teachers are like you, everyone would know how to paint. You are awesome! You packed the basic concept into one simple video. Amazing!
Awwww!!! Thanks so much! That comment really blessed me Kimberly.

Awwwww!!!! I’m smiling big-time!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you skipping the jargon and getting right to the point. Finally I am starting to understand. The captions below also really helped. I was really pulling my hair out before I found your video.
Thank you so much, @bardgoldn! Your comment blessed me.
Thank you so much for putting up this video
You are a REALLY good teacher. thank you
You're very welcome! Thanks!!!😊
Thank you Susan for this great video👌
GREAT video! The best discussion of creating depth in an art piece.
I first learned about this about 40 years ago in a Watercolor magazine article. You’d think that in the intervening decades there would be more good info about creating depth. But to this day in many of the art forums, people show their “flat” art and ask the question: “What’s wrong with my painting?”
It could be many things, but most of the time with landscape work it’s simply that they have not followed the rules of creating depth.
This is great work. I’ll be posting a link to this video to help folks out.
Best,
Dan.
Thank you so much, Dan! I am so grateful for that positive comment, and I love being able to share simple techniques that can make such a huge difference in someone’s painting. Bless you and thanks again for such a wonderful comment.

Really wonderful, Susan, thanks so much!
Thank you so much!! This is very confusing, but you simplified it so much that I feel I do have a better understanding!! Thank you for beginner lessons and details.

Wonderfully and very well explained many thank .
Lovely lesson was great and easy to understand
That was great 👍🏽
Great presentation!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I learned a lot.
Nice overview and explanation. Those colour wheels are a great reference tool :-)
Really understood this the way you taught it was brilliant . Thank you!
So well explained! I’m going to try to incorporate these elements in my painting.
This is the best example I’ve seen on how to create depth! I have a painting I don’t like that I painted for a friend. She loves it but I refuse to give it to her because I don’t love it. Somethings wrong! Well this it! My colors are the same and the sizes of the flowers in my painting are the same. I really hope I can fix it somehow or just do it over for her. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. You are an amazing teacher.
I appreciate that so much!! I hope to see it, if you do!! Come on over and share in the fun on my Patreon page!!!! www.patreon.com/susanjenkins

awwww...... bless you. You can't know how much comments like yours bless me. Often I'm exhausted after making these videos and your words are like a breath of fresh air.
Photography term is called 'depth of field'. Great video
Oh wow! How sweet of you, @MZ20208! I appreciate your tip so much! God bless you.
after i learnt what neutralizing means in another video, this video has taught me a lot for my painting way.i
Wonderful and clear lesson!!
Thank you! 😃 That makes me happy!
I’m a pretty new painter. I have done this painting of where I stayed in Kauai on the first anniversary of my husband’s passing because I knew it was going to be very hard. The center part of the hotel and the patio i are on top of a black rock pile where there are bushes and flowers growing and water flows through them into the pond below. I have looked at this painting for over a month and am unable to figure out what I need to do to make it look like a rock pile. Right now it just looks like black spaces with color blocks and blue lines. I attempted to send you a photo but it wouldn’t let me. Do you have any suggestions? Is there a different way to send you a photo of it? Your class is wonderful! Thank you for your help!
This is an easy great video!! Thank you!
This was so helpful! Thank you!
You are the best teacher EVER! Thanks so much for this brilliant tutorial. It's helping me enormously to understand the way scenic wallpapers and backdrops are composed.
Great lesson. Thankyou.!
Thanks so much. 8 am a beginner indeed. 😊👍
This is such a helpful tutorial! I've been trying to understand how to do landscapes with depth for a long time, all I want is to do a bit of background for horses and animals that I paint and I can't seem to do it right 😅 I've watched loads of tutorials and this is the most helpful one by far!
Awesome @amandacarroll31, I appreciate that so much! So happy it helped!
Thank you and I’m subscribed! 👌🎨🥰

Thanks so much. You are an inspiration!
You are amazing. I was struggling with detail description of color ,chroma,value....etc. You made it easy like abc
Wonderful! That’s what I love to hear!
Wow so helpful! you have such a clear way of teaching, and I like that you explain the WHYS of the “rules”, it helps me understand much better. I can easily get thrown off if I didn’t understand why things happen, so it’s much appreciated. 😂
Wonderful! It must have been all that homeschooling with my son. I love teaching :)
Easy to follow and such helpful ideas. She is a talented artist and teacher. I have found this to be a rare combination.
Such PRACTICAL ADVICE - a huge thank you x
Wow! I get it now! Thank you!
Im an artists and art teacher, in Uk, but find your videos really helpful to consolidate my own ideas and remind me of things we share as artists. Thanks and happy art making xx
I have watched soooo many videos and formal lessons on color theory and this is by far the best and easiest to comprehend. Everything makes sense as you explained it. Before I saw it more as rules of painting but this makes sense. I never ever write comments on TH-cam videos but I had to do so here. Great lesson. Thank you
Thank you so much, TheMuchi305! Your comment blessed me. I'm smiling!!
Thanks Susan for the lesson. One never stiops learning.
This is THE BEST tutorial on color use! TY

Thank you this video helps a lot.
I wish you had been my art teacher at school .I might now be able to paint a picture!
