Final Piece: Landscape

A 45 minute chalk pastel drawing. This image has good depth provided by the buildings. The building on the right especially does this, framing the edge of the image and showing where the house in the background ends. The trees and sky at the top also create another layer which hints at the world behind the buildings.

The smudging of the wall of the middle house and the detail on top of it creates an area of interest as it is different to the other walls, showing that it is one of the more important areas of the image. This is confirmed by the detail in the piping of the same house, and also by how it is fairly central in the composition.

The way the marks on the walls are made also contributes to this, as they all point towards the central area, drawing the viewer's eye into the detail.
