For our drawing session this week we went to Todmordon to easily capture a
range of natural landscapes. This week we are once again following the theme of
colour within drawing to gain a good understanding.
The first drawing took around 10 minutes, it was a quick drawing using
coloured pastels and shows foreground (the brick wall), mid ground (the field
and houses) and background (the hills and small wood). The colours used within
this drawing make it very warm and sunny which completely contradicts the
weather on the day but is quite an unexpected observation. It would been better
if I had spent more time on this landscape as it was a beautiful setting and
sadly this is hard to notice whilst observing the given piece.
The second drawing took 45 minutes to complete and was also drawn using
coloured pastels. This is a very nice landscape drawing as the landscape is
hidden behind the railways bridge and can be seen through the arches which give
it a nice effect. Most of the brickwork in this part of the Todmordon seemed to
be sandstone so I have used quite a strong mix of yellow, orange and brown hues
to try and recreate the material. If a larger canvas than A3 had been used
there could have been a lot more detail within the drawing but due to the
medium it was quite hard to get the finer finishes.
