Handling Complex Information: Impressionism (3 Sketches)
The pieces above were produced in under an hour each, on plain white A3 paper with Grey Toned Marker Pens and Pitt Artist Pens.
The pieces above have all used lighting to depict the form of buildings and foliage, most of this lighting is direct and comes from the sun with little indirect lighting be present.
With light being considered this also gives way to shadows and we can see that the direct light is hitting off buildings to cast shadows onto other buildings, this can be seen in the middle image when the tall building in the middle is casting a shadow onto a building to it's right.
As for mark making we get a difference between hard and soft materials, specifically between the foliage and buildings, the scribbles around the page depict the softer foliage which is in movement whilst the contour of the buildings depicts hard materials such as brick.
A foregound, midground and background is also present in the compositions as we can see best in the middle image, the foliage to the front of the page creates an angle of foreshortening implying a sense of depth in the image.
Constructively the foreground in the first image is to light which distracts us from the focal point which is the town, if a silhouette was added as the background the midground would be highlighted more and increase the angle of foreshortening.
As for the compositions the rule of thirds could be considered, all images appear to have a focus point in the middle and if fixed more balance could be added for harmony.

Mixing Media: Interior Perspective [Fix]
This piece has been produced in order to fix the issues present in last weeks Mixing Media.
(This piece was produced on A3 Blue Coloured Paper with Sketching Crayons and Pastels, I will talk only about the fixes, you can can check out last weeks piece to see what my constructive input was)
To begin with depth has been worked in, we can see this by the tones of the walls behind the pillars, they're dim which highlights the pillars and makes them become an area of interest, if we follow the implied line of the pillars it leads us to to our focus point which is the blue window to the right, this is our focus point due to the contrast in light and dark this also happens to be in the rule of thirds and contributes to the composition.
Perspective has also been improved as the proportion of the arcs in the pillars now get considerably smaller the further away they are, this also goes for the rows of chairs where detail lessens to present a vanishing point.
Constructively it suffers with colour values the piece appears saturated, for example the walls are a tone of grey and take up a lot the composition, the same goes for the yellow windows where there should be more highlight to show glass and light coming in.
