Week 5: Landscape (Skies)

This week the main focus of the session was on the skies. The location used is Brighton, at the seaside. This drawing was done in soft pastels and took one hour to complete. The horizontal line is deliberately put as low as possible to give space for the sky. Also, the objects below were blacked out because of the light of the sunset, but they also serve as a frame of reference. The clouds are all part of a single perspective and an implied line follows them from the bigger cloud to the one above. These are rendered in a range of shades and tints in order to convey the shadows that show the volume inside the clouds.
Another objective that has been reached is the different background layers, although the foreground could have needed more attention in order for it to not contrast so much in style with the rest.
