Art tip: Use color to suggest depth

Creating depth doesn't always require lines or shading.
Sometimes it's simply a matter of making distant colors lighter, cooler, and softer.
Our eyes read that as distance automatically.

Pieter Bruegel already used this in 'Hunters in the Snow', and it still works today. 🎨

A wooden mannequin might seem unnecessary, but it's actually one of the handiest tools you can have.

Perfect for quickly testing a pose, checking proportions, or figuring out a composition before you start drawing.

Small, simple, and yet essential. 🪵✏️

Inspiration isn't only found in museums or tutorials.

Sometimes it's just a walk through the forest, the light between the trees, the colors of dead leaves on the ground.

Take a good look around before you start painting or drawing. Nature often gives you everything you need. 🍃🎨

There's something special about watercolour.

With a little water, some pigment and a blank sheet of paper, colours flow and blend in ways you can never fully predict.

It's that combination of control and unpredictability that makes watercolour so loved by artists. 🎨

Oil pastels are more versatile than many people realise.

Did you know you can blend them with oil? By applying a small amount and working it into the surface, you can create an effect that looks surprisingly similar to an oil painting.

Gouache and poster paint may look similar, but they're not the same.

Gouache contains more and higher-quality pigments, resulting in richer, deeper colours that are often more lightfast. It also tends to blend more smoothly and offers greater control while painting.

At first glance, they can seem very similar. Once you put them on paper, the difference quickly becomes clear. 🎨
