Painting these holly hocks along a fence row was so fun.
I love the colors here and I loved painting the flowers
with their yellow centers.
One of the things an artist does is to suggest things,
or to fool the eye.
Distance is created in this painting in several ways.
One way is the narrowing of the path in front of the flowers
as it recedes.
One way is the way the fence gets lower as it recedes.
Another way is the lack of detail the further the flowers are
from the foreground.

Ask yourselves these questions:
from the foreground.
As you learn to paint, study many artists and their work.
Ask yourselves these questions:
- What is the artist trying to tell me?
- How does the artist create distance?
- How does the artist show me where to look?
- How does my eye move through the painting.
Artists show you many things through the use of:
color
texture
warm and cool colors
composition
and perspective.
