Here is a Final Landscape drawing done in watercolours on damp paper. The focus was on colour and how it is visually established through landscape. The image represents a focal point facing straight down a canal which therefore a sense of fore-shorting and perspective. The base of the painting was an already damp piece of paper which has dried in some colours that were replace with darker tones to convey the 'wetness' of the location.
The perspective is off in the lower pavement of the image as the square concrete slabs are too upright and don't flow well with the rest of the image, however the different combinations of colours in the water bring out an effective establishment of colour. The brush was used effectively to signify such a fluid appearance. This is also present in the trees; the thin strokes establish the wind blowing creating a sense of escapism into the piece itself.
The shading is also quite effective in this image as it really connotes a damp, miserable feeling around the piece that helps bring out the feeling of the strokes. Also instead of keeping a linear reflective pattern on the surface of the water, the brush strokes were hardened here to establish the hectic weather.
