This is the final Landscape piece which was done in one hour and 30 minutes on A3 using brown and white conte. This piece follows on from the light on landscape study however takes it beyond to a higher quality and standard. The focal point being the hills in the distance, which slowly fade away, these also work as powerful line eventually leading into the foreground as implied line. The vantage point gave a nice view of the cityscape with varied height of buildings and depth with a strong sky helping balance the picture.
The strong points in this drawing consists of the depth and is mostly created due to the focal point discussed before, it allows for the viewer to begin following the implied line and gives a great sense of depth to the image, compared to the previous study this helped build upon the depth and is much more visibly apparent within this work. Another point to be discussed based on the previous study is the use of highlight. In this image highlight was used much more subtly however darker areas and shadow have been added bringing the white highlight to the forefront of the image contrasting well. The composition works well within this piece due to its strong line and detailed impressionism made possible due to the two point perspective used more noticeably on the buildings within the midground.
While the general presentation of the picture is well done with strong composition and depth, the weaker points stem from the line quality displayed. Using a sharper line with conte would have allowed for more believable and detailed man made structure. A few parts of the image also seem incorrectly observed such as the trees being seemingly too large and incorrectly shaped however this is due to the strange viewing angle of the object, while better observation would have improved it, the tree would have appeared rounder from this point of view.
