WOOHOO! Good weather = time to build

[P5se Camelback]

PERFECT!!!

Those images illustrate my point, exactly!

Notice that there is "suggested" detail ... but not any real "hard line" detail! The illusion of distant environment helps set the mood for what is important in the scene ... the trains!

Also, the technique of "graying out" or muting the colors increases with the distance traveled from the foreground. That practice is best illustrated by the third linked image, where the road surface appears farther and farther away! The simple device of adding white or gray, along with, as I alluded to earlier, just a hint of very pale lavender (yeah, I know ... a girly color) helps the eye perceive the distance we want to convince it is actually there!

Thanks, Kurt! You, too, made me smile ...

... Big Time!
