Texture
gradient is carefully used in the painting to the right, Paris Street:
A Rainy Day by Gustave Caillebotte which was used in the discussion
of linear perspective. In this case focus on the street and how it appears
to recede in depth. The square cobblestones are the key in this painting.
These cobblestones get progressively smaller as the road recedes in depth
until the stones are not clearly distinguishable from each other. In the
distance, only the general roughness of the street is noticeable and then
this roughness becomes less easily noticed as well.copyrightkrantzj@hanover.edu John H. Krantz, Ph.D.
