Week 12: Natural Landscapes in colour



This soft pastel drawing, finished in 10 minutes, was done in the excursion to Todmorden. The approach to colour seems to be impressionistic but at the same time appropiate for balancing the chromatics and the light sources of the drawing. In this composition depth is shown through the use of tones or tints of colours, that are applied through a burnishing method, layer on top of a layer.
On the down side, the landscape drawing looks far from finished and could be easily improved by use of more colour and by paying attention to detail.
