>>4887012maybe it would help for you to lay out what characteristics 'things that are closer to you' may have, vs what 'things that are farther to you' may have. artists use any combinations of these, and even more that i dont know of:
closer things (darker in value) vs further things (lighter)
closer things (sharper edges) vs further things (softer edges/blurrier)
closer things (higher contrast) vs further things (lower contrast)
closer things (warmer colors) vs further things (cooler colors)
closer things (more saturated) vs further things (more grey)
