Climbing

This is a painting of a family hiking in the mountains.  I’ve used a technique called “atmospheric perspective.”  This gives the feeling of looking up at them as they hike.  The one on the far right is painted largest, the one in the middle is smaller than the first, and the last one is the smallest.  This makes the one to the right look closest while the one on the left feels further away.  I’ve also put the one on the right further down on the painting while I’ve painted the others higher up on the canvas.
