This piece was done in 45 minutes on A3 with graphite and white pastel, the study was based on man made architectural buildings with the main focal point being the reflective roof surface. The vantage point of choice gave a decent overview of the main building while the composition wasn’t too successful being slightly too large for the paper, the general point is shown with a strong line along the top of the main building.
The main focal point of the reflective material of the building's roof was achieved using a white pastel to highlight the sections this highly contrasted with the use of graphite for the contour and shading. Depth is shown well with the foreshortening apparent on the beams as roof panels and with the buildings behind the main architectural focal point while the buildings in the background seem somewhat over encumbered and dark they work well to bring forward the main building creating a well formed sense of depth.
A large portion of the incorrect elements are formed due to the composition, if changed the focal point would have been smaller however the idea of perspective would have been greatly improved and the addition of sky would have brought the scene to another level of depth.
