Week 12: Natural Landscapes in colour- Quick Sketch

This is a 20 minute watercolour painting using dark toned water based paints. The main focus was on colour within an outside environment. The archway had great tonal values that contrasted well, even more so due to the damp and wetness of the stone. The stone slab contrasted with the upper wall conveys how the light was only piercing through very slightly, but is more established with the right side being lower in tonal value than the left.

The focal point sees straight through esablishing perspecive and a sense of a background, middle ground and foreground. In the foreground the colours are more darker than in the background further dignifing light. The tree that is also visible in the background is slightly out of perspective and proportion with the rest of the image. This was due to the amount of greenery in the background therefore this establishes an interruption between the tree and the ground below.
