Welcome to our brand new section within TheAppWhisperer.com entitled – App Art School.

Within this section we publish a range of tutorials from beginner, intermediate to professional editing techniques to help you adjust your photo art in the best possible way.

In this session, UI/UX designer Paolo Limoncelli explores atmospheric perspective and how to use it to create concept art in Affinity Photo for iPad.

The output will be a thumbnail sheet with four concept landscapes, a good starting point for inspiration and following steps.
