Making Monochromatic Mountains

I have been playing with torn stencils and making monochromatic abstract mountains.

It has been fun using simple torn stencils from copy paper to create an abstract mountain range.

I am relying on the concept of atmospheric perspective to create the illusion of space. The further away the range the lighter it would be in the image. The closer to the viewer, then the darker it would be.

I have been enjoying working with simple stencils and just one color and distinct values and the gelatin plate. Sometimes less is more.
