from the viewer, the smaller is the size of the object. Relative size is supported by the concept of linear perspective. Parallel lines that meet at the horizon give the illusion of distance. Objects, therefore, become smaller the nearer they are to the point in the horizon where the two lines converge.
Atmospheric Perspective. This is also known as aerial perspective. The illusion of depth is created by techniques known as gradient (a gradual change). This may be a gradient in texture, brightness, color intensity, and combination of warm and cool colors. To understand gradient better, the picture plane is divided into three parts: the lower part is the foreground, which is nearest to the viewer, the second is the middle ground, and the upper part of the picture plane is the background. In applying gradient to give the illusion of depth, objects in the foreground would be bigger, detailed, and brighter. As the eye moves to the middle ground, the objects' appearance would gradually change. In the middle ground objects would be smaller compared with those in the foreground. There would be less detail, and colors are not so bright. When the viewer looks at the background, objects will be smaller, they will have very little detail, and the colors are hazy giving the illusion of distance.
