Environment - Final Piece
This piece was produced on plain white a3 paper with watercolour pencils in 4 hours.Starting with perspective the horizon line would be across the bottom of the house, a vanishing point is considered as foreshortening can be seen on the path, the best example would be that the chairs close to the house appear smaller where as the plants around the pond appear larger, the orthogonal lines would be far off the page as well due to the horizon line being so high up the page.
A foreground, midground and background is seen, the foreground being the plants and path with the house being the midground along with the sky and trees being the background, the trees in the background appear to have been made darkrer in order for the midground to gain interest.
The focal point appears to be the chimney as this is within the rule of thirds along with it having a darker roof near by which increases the contrast, it also contains the most detail in the piece along with a path that leads the viewer to the side of the page in which the chimney is.
Although lines are present, the bushes and trees use a different saturation in order to create their form when next to the house or sky, using different hues enables the clouds to stand out as well.
The impressionism of the bushes lends a helping hand to the focal point as there doesn't appear to be to much detail in those areas and since foliage is on both sides of the page this increases the balance and harmony of the composition.
Constructively the pond appears to have to much detail and this could lead the viewer away from the proposed focal point, lighting could also be considered more as the piece appears to be to flat and lighting would increase the dynamism in the piece as a whole.
