Air itself is visible, though few artists paint it (Turner was one of the exceptions). Most artists paint only light and objects and treat air like it is invisible.<br /><br />You say:<br /><br />"The particles in the atmosphere reflect the blue of the sky, causing the distant mountains to appear grayish blue. When there is no blue sky visible you won't see as much blue in the distance."<br /><br />Most of the colour comes not from particles suspended in the air but from the air itself. The reason the sky is blue is because blue light is far more likely to be scattered than red light. If you look at a bit of air that sunlight is shining through you won't see much red light - it goes straight through, but some of the blue light will be scattered in the direction of your eye. The atmosphere is thinner than you might think. If it were the same density as it is at sea-level all the way up then it would be only 8 km deep. That means that when you look at something 8km away you are looking through the same amount of air as there is between you and space (looking straight up).<br /><br />If there is a lot of moisture in the air then all wavelengths of light will be scattered (like a cloud) so the hills will look lighter but not bluer, but if most of the scattering is from the air itself, blue light will be scattered a lot more and the hills will look lighter and bluer.<br /><br />I think it's a shame that something so beautiful and so important goes so unnoticed - a bit like fish not noticing water. We talk about 'the sky' and and 'the wind' but rarely air itself. Air is synonymous with 'nothing'. <br /><br />(I have a degree in physics and studied atmospheric physics and as an artist I am particularly interested in air)Adam Niemanhttp://www.zangtumbtumb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604437130323093173.post-10298036169798982372015-06-16T19:29:19.451-07:002015-06-16T19:29:19.451-07:00Are the ridges or tops of the hills lighter, and d...Are the ridges or tops of the hills lighter, and do they darken as they move down the hill?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604437130323093173.post-26428907876016135182012-03-28T11:53:40.652-07:002012-03-28T11:53:40.652-07:00beautful pictures... i am a art student and i love...beautful pictures... i am a art student and i love to draw and shade ....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604437130323093173.post-86913799919438219602012-02-25T12:46:39.182-08:002012-02-25T12:46:39.182-08:00See my post ' Watercolors.

So, unless the picture was depicting a subset or dawn, you rarely see the sun in a Renaissance landscape painting. A landscape depicting mid-day would show the sky lighter towards the top. A landscape at twilight would show the sky lightest at the horizon.The Helpful Art Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155651950530534326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604437130323093173.post-23543834558505827592012-02-25T12:06:17.190-08:002012-02-25T12:06:17.190-08:00Great question.
