Composite drawing from sketches and photographs.
This exercise excited me as I looked at the elements that interested me in the landscape around me and drew from previous work. I realised that a work didn't need to be constructed from only the visual information in front of me but could be drawn from elements in previous sketches and pieced together.
I looked through the work I had done:
Sketchbook for Exercise 1.
and did some sketches:
And a 360 sketch of the view over a small stadium and the eastern part of the city.
so as to combine the feeling of the concrete jungle and to reflect more fully the sanity of the park spaces in this mega city.
This then the final work:

And decided to put together 2 works... the park sketch in charcoal that I did on the Sketchbook Walk exercise:
so as to combine the feeling of the concrete jungle and to reflect more fully the sanity of the park spaces in this mega city.
This then the final work:
I used a number of techniques and materials:
Dipping pen with ink and wash, powder charcoal and green Japanese brush pen.
On reflection I am pleased with this work as it is more than just the obvious landscape - I felt that I discovered something (well for me..) and that the monotone worked well to create a feeling of lush, dark cool.
