Week 12: Colour in Spring

This image is primarily focused on using a small amount of colours to generate a landscape with a good amount of depth, this is achieved through the use of various green hues, a nice white highlight and a brown and black colour. The white and lighter green have both been used to show the tonal value of the hill tops, and in conjunction with the sun, they give the scene more volume. There is a nice saturation between the greens and white also, and with the use of directional marks to imply a slight incline to the small hills. There is a small amount of burnishing displayed in the grass too. The entire image successfully stays in the warmer half of the colour wheel, with the dark blue backdrop the only negative, perhaps implying there was cloudy or dull weather at the time of drawing. The brown used on the stairs is also nicely contrasted with the green of the grass.
