Tip 2: Control temperature
Cool, pale colours seem to recede while warm, intense colours advance towards us
The visual conditioning instilled in us by the effects of atmospheric perspective can be used to enhance the feeling of depth in any image. By choosing bluer colour palettes for more distant subjects and warmer, vibrant colours for the foreground you can enhance the sense of space and distance in your image.
A knowledge of this effect might also inform how you chose to place objects in a still life or affect how you choose to dress subjects in a street scene – for example, you might place a blue object towards the back to emphasise the depth or paint a figure wearing oranges and reds towards the front of a composition.
