But that compression can also make objects look the wrong size in context with the subject depending on the framing.

This is done in live action as well using another person's hands in front of the camera.

with specifically the highlights and colors being hues that compliment each other, don’t distract from the scene, and make it more interesting/visually appealing

cohesive but still contrasting

This kind of talks about color and composition

This is a bit about landscape specifically

Values & composition

Contrast in composition

Balance in colors & values

This one's more for palette building but I think it's useful and can be applied to the other ones

Cohesion within compositions/lighting

"Chromatic fringe" - I also see people using this with shading, they bring in a transition color that is a different hue than the base color or shadow, it makes it so that less vibrancy is lost and it doesn't get muddy!

This one specifically has a lot of process behind the style of painting you're looking for!

Also one of my favorite artists who makes bright and colorful art like this is Not Sorry Art on TikTok & YouTube, her website is here and it's<3 my fav. She has some videos where you can see her process

Ah, I presume this is about my comments on Appaloosa being a breed not a colour? So, collectively, the spotted patterns are called 'spotted' or 'leopard complex'.

This first horse shown is a varnish roan - which is also called leopard complex. ALL spotted horses are also varnish roan - whether they look like this or like the other patterns shown below depends on their patn gene.

With varnish roan, the horse is born a solid colour and slowly gain white hairs as their grow older, i.e. roaning. Sometimes, they'll have small white spots called 'snowflakes'. Varnishing might also reveal hidden spots on their coat (like you can see over this horse's hip.) They often have mottled skin, striped hooves and wall eyes (where the white of their eye is, well, white)

Some leopard complex horses also 'bronze' - black hairs become a sort of rusty colour.

Homogeneous leopard complex (Lp/Lp) causes nightblindness - where the horse cannot see in low light conditions.

Blanket on the left and snowcap on the right. Horses with a particularly large white patch might be called extended blanket/snowcap but that's subjective (I generally call them extended if the white reaches their withers (the ridge at the base of their neck, above their shoulders))

Blanket is heterozygous leopard complex (Lp/lp) with unknown patn genes (I do believe there's a theorised PATN2 which is dominant but is masked by PATN1 but my info could very well be out of date on this.) Snowflake is homozygous leopard complex (Lp/Lp), same patn genes as blanket.

Left is leopard, right is fewspot. Horses for which the white doesn't cover their head and/or legs are called near leopard/fewspot. Leopard is heterozygous Lp/lp and fewspot is homozygous, caused by PATN1.
