Week 4: Landscape: Handling complex info

This week the session was focused on handling complex information and rendering it properly in a composition. The drawing was done at Brighton in 10 minutes by use of ink pen, then pastels were used to finish off the clouds and the sea. The details are poorly added in order to create an impressionistic view that would let the mind fill in the gaps. The perspective is visible on the seafront, though more planning and better positioning would have bettered it. The horizontal line is somewhat in the middle while the vanishing point goes to the right and an implied line is found in the clouds which leads to the same point.
Possibly more planning for the sky and the buildings would have improved this composition. To add to the fact that more colour added to the seafront would have made the drawing more interesting.
