Week 24: Composition and Compositional Principles (Part 2) Landscape

For this task I started by sketching out some thumbnails in order to decide the composition and chose the first one, as the lines of the street lead the viewer’s eyes towards the object that I wanted to be my focal point: the detailed building on the left. Also, the objects in the composition were layered nicely: some really close to the foreground, some a bit farther, and some getting lost in the background, giving the impression of depth. 


I made the sketch:

Then shaded it, putting the most detail into my focal point:

I had to add more contrast in the foreground and make the left part of the building darker since both were almost the same value. I also put more detail and contrast into the ivy, making the foliage on the left lighter and the one on the right darker so it would stand out. I also toned down the contrast in the background and added a bit of detail on the surface of the street. The ellipse on the fron barrel was also wrong, so I fixed it.

This is the final work after applying the feedback:
