Learn how to create distance in a landscape using acrylic paint. In this art tutorial I shall be creating a landscape painting using acrylic paint. I will show you how to create depth in a landscape painting by using colour and tone in combination. The idea is to use cool, light greens in the background of the painting and warm, bold greens in the foreground. Combining this with the idea of soft edges in the background and sharp edges in the foreground of the painting.

This art tutorial is part one of this painting, and it is intended for beginners.
