I used four different medias to create these pieces, first pencil, water colours, gouache and biro pen. All four pieces meet up into a 360 view so when all joined it would be the view that I saw.
Unfortunately all joined up it isn’t really possible to catch the effect of the contrasting pieces together. This was a good experiment for using mixed media to create one piece.
This was the second trip to a coastal path and beach that was again used for inspiration for my work. The task was do to the opposite of the first, to draw the actual landscape this time but to draw it in a 360′ view. This was to stretch the thinking of how you would normally draw a landscape, as usually for this example to draw the very breath taking view of the sea crashing upon the cliffs but also drawing what would be behind that. This means not really being able to choose what we want to put in our landscapes to make them interesting and beautiful. However on the occasion, sometimes the none picturesque view can be more interaction outcome than the one expected.
Above is the picturesque view.
This one is the none picturesque view.
As the weather was bad, wind and rain, we were unable to finish these long landscape drawings. They were to be done in four goes. As I took photos of the view I am able to finish the drawings in my own time. I discovered that it is hard to position and scale the landscapes which was a good challenge for myself. Below is just a starter of the four drawings.
They’re unfinished yet but are developing nicely, I have and am going to use a different media for each section. When finished I wish put together to make a 3D view. So far my favourite is the none picturesque view which was no what I expected at that start of this task when I saw it for real. I’d like to do this again but finish it in the actual outdoors to get the full feel of this exercise.
Here are just some more views I saw. Also a quick sketch of the ‘secrete garden’.
