Question

You have been asked to paint a picture that includes a river, some mountains and a field.If you paint the field so that it appears as though parts of the field such as the blades of grass that are in the foreground of your painting are more detailed than the blades of grass that are in the background of your painting, you are using the pictorial depth cue of ____ in your painting.

Answer 1

Answer:

You are using the Linear Perspective principle.

Explanation:

This principle creates an illusion of depth. Instead of drawing a river with a flat appearance, you decided to create depth using lines that part from the canvas center (horizontal line), begins to separate themselves (vanishing point) and ended on both sides of the canvas (parallel lines). This simple process just works if you use its three principles: parallel lines, a vanishing point, and the horizon line.
