We start class by discussing the work each student has completed during the week. This was one of the paintings I showed and our discussion focused on depth vs. flatness. In this painting, there is depth from the perspective, overlap, and scale of elements, but the color does not contribute to the sense of space.
After class as an exercise, I studied the effect of various color palettes applied to the same composition. I copied the color palettes from one of my new favorite artists Irma Cerese. You can see that using lighter less saturated colors as you move back in space does create a greater sense of depth.
