Highly Detailed Finished Piece - Landscape

Landscape Drawing - Final Piece

This is a highly detailed final piece drawing using a conte crayon and white chalk. This drawing shows a very impressionistic view of a pathway that is surrounded by trees and shrubbery. This drawing depicts a very dull day with hardly any brightness in the sky and little highlighted areas within the drawing. However, the contrast in the gradients of shading make this drawing stand out and creates a sense of depth. Highlighted areas have been shown in the tree, lampposts and some of the small shrubbery, which shows a great contrast from some of the really dark areas within this drawing.

The sense of perspective in this drawing leads your eye down the path and into the distance with the trees and shrubbery appear to be caving in as the eye is led further and further down into the distance. The eye is also led to another path, which is leading of to the right of the drawing. This is helped by the banister with its highlighted area that helps the eye to concentrate on this area.

This drawing has a good sense of perspective and detail and shows a sense of curiosity as the path leads away into the distance and it is unknown what it around the corner. Using grey tonal colours also sets this drawing in a very dull day, as there is no colour to show any happiness within this drawing but sets a very interesting final piece.
