Week 11: Colour in landscape- Finished Drawing


This is a 40 minute drawing done in coloured pastels. The main focus is on colour in landscape. The location is noticibly dull therefore colours were chosen to further this damp boring appearance. A vantage point was chosen that used the rule of third to a good advantage. Shadow and tone value are also very important within this drawing. As is the use of different tones of green for example, help establish the different layers the grass has when wet. It shows how the light an dark tones contrast well together.

The building in the background, lost its detail with the weather. its blank dullness tone, conveyed a simple yet forgotten establishment. The light also helps convey this, as because it is so dull, the background is represented as much more duller and darker than the foreground with the bright green, to contrast the two to make a ranged layer of depressive colours.
