Artists use various techniques of perspective to create the illusion of depth and space in their compositions. Linear perspective involves creating the illusion of distance by making objects appear smaller and closer together as they recede into the background. Atmospheric perspective uses color and value to simulate the way objects appear to change in hue and detail as they move further away. Overlapping objects and diminishing sizes of objects as they move into the distance are also common techniques used to create depth in artwork. These strategies help artists create realistic and immersive compositions that draw the viewer into the scene.
