59. Vary your edges to make your paintings look professional

When edges are sharp for the subject and the background, they appear to be very close together, so this only works for things that are actually close together. When edges are sharp for the subject but soft in the background, the two seem far away. You can use a gradation of softness to suggest depth. When edges are soft for the subject and sharp in the background, the focus should be in the background. When edges for the subject and background are both soft, this works mainly for an atmospheric piece. Edges seem harder when the value contrast on both sides are very different. They seem softer when the values are nearly the same. Edges are harder in sunlight and softer with diffuse light. I describe how to draw a flickering flame.
