Plein Air Watercolor Atmospheric Perspective High School Art

I showed the students some photos of landscapes that show atmospheric perspective. I then took them outside and to a vantage point on our campus that allowed us to see hills in the distance so they could see atmospheric perspective in life. I then had them do their own watercolor paintings sitting outside.
