About The Demo:
In this pastel demonstration, artist Petronella van Leusden explores how to create atmosphere and emotional depth within a landscape. Using the principles of atmospheric perspective and value contrast, she reveals how subtle changes in tone, chroma, and temperature can suggest distance and evoke mood. Through careful observation of light and color, Petronella demonstrates how to infuse a landscape with a sense of space and connection to the natural world.
