Week: Bradford and Whitby Landscape




This is Whitby, where are department went on a study trip. We were drawing on the top of the mountains to the right of Whitby looking down upon the lighthouse. Because I didn't have my sketchbook with me, I drew it on a normal A4 page and reproduced it when I returned home. I used charcoal paint. The stormy sky is reflected in the waves smashing horizontally into the coastline marked by greys and red flowers. I used the rule of 2/3s, and the rough lines draw your attention from the bottom left out to the upper right.

  1. These are so nice, I like the simplicity and compositions of both and how you draw the flowers and sea in the second one.
