Foreshortening

in this piece called Saint in the wilderness by John Walters is a perfect example of foreshortening art. which creates a unique  affect when looking at art.it makes an object closer than it is or having less depth or distance, as and effect of perspective or the angle. in Walters art he has the man foot feel as if it was right in your grasp and his head and body feel like they are much farther away. foreshortening art gives you the scenes that your right in the art or next to the object. also their is more detail where the foreshortening starts, look at his foot their more shading and it looks like the artist went  in more depth with all the wrinkles and dirt marks.
