Our task was to draw the wilderness on a A1 piece of paper using a charcol, black and white chalk and a board.

It was very egsausting drawing everything you saw with in my opinion very limited materials. I wished I had a darker coloures chalk or charcol because at one point the background had so many layers that it was hard to out line the trees and branches.

I chose the spot by the lake because there was a comfortable bench and there was a clear view of the path and the lake. I was hoping the swans would appear on the lake but they were on the other side of the lake.

The homework was to cut out a 20cm piece of paper width and height and create three landscapes of the same view I had drawn using mixed medias.

This piece is made of acrylic with lots of water. This picture really focuses on colour rather than detail. I rather enjoyed painting this because it’s a simple technique of just splogging colours together but it suprisingly took alot of time.

This picture is coloured with oil pastles. I really enjoyed using oil pastles because I could explore on using my colour technique. The box came with all the colours exept for black, this gave me an opatunity to be creative and to use un-nateral colours in my landscape. The colours mix in very well with each other.

This picture is made of chalk pastles. I didn’t really enjoy colouring with these materials because I had my full share of using chalks and grey colours with my A1 piece it was dull the draw because It just felt like a repeat. Also I don’t like the sensation of smugeing.
