Fine art experiments

Our first experiment was about observational drawing and cross hatching, we had 3 hrs to finish a crosshatched picture of a set up in front of us of different items in our bag. 

I didnt get mine done in the three hours and i think thats either becuse cross hatching take longer to be effective than shading and also maybe i had too many items. So next time i shall have less items 

But after another couple of hours another  day i got it finished and here was my final peice.

 Our second experiment was gridding we where asked bring a A4 image of something from our world i live in sketch book. I choose one of my scenary photos  from elsecar park because i love painting scenarys but also i though it would look good on a large scale. We then had to measure the grid on to the a4 paper and then double the measuments when i drew the grid onto my stretched A2 paper. I found it quite easy and enjoyed doing it we where then giving our own time to do it and this was my final peice.

 I was really happy with the effect on the water even though it was lines and also the shading on the trees even though it was just different tones of green.
