Week 3: Landscape - Perspective, tonal value and mixing media

The horizon line in the composition is situated above slightly the eye level. Due to the construction plane, the depth of the 3 dimensions is presented ad strokes with different angle that leads from edge to edge. However the low contrast of the colours is unhelpful to underlne the depth of the buildings.

The pink media is used to sharpen the natural forms of the Atrium by opposing the high contrast of the background colour to the softer and less saturated pastels. The inconsistent
stokes in the direction of the planes of the building are used to present the transparent material. To visualise the shadows, augmenting saturation of the colour is used as well as additional darker tones for contouring the extreme difference between light and darkness. The high saturation of the paper colour bleeds through at the corners of the buildings. This helps expressing the sharp edges in their natural forms.
