Clouds are super frustrating. I need to try more of this.
Trying different methods of using ink. Top left was most successfulOil pastel was a lot of fun. Messy.
Trying pastel. UnsuccessfullyA pattern of cirrus clouds looked like the pattern on a shrimp. This was fun. Graphite
I really enjoyed the process with the graphite. It looks incredibly luminous, even if the shapes aren’t wonderful.
Mind Map of Landscape Art
A work in progress. I’m not sure how to bucket a lot of artists, and definitely don’t have an appreciation for the differences in styles. ie, how to split them apart. I think this is the best way to categorize these artists. I think revisiting by content, perhaps, would be better here.
Exercise 4: Moving in the Landscape
White pines sticking up above the canopy. I returned to this view a lot during my stay at the park. It showed up a number of times in the pastel work of Project 1.A log sticking out of the marsh shrubs. The bark curved and curled in odd ways, with dead sticks pointing in all directions.
Trying to capture the structure of a pine twig, and its needles. very short, and regular spacing, though the needles were of various random lengths.A pillar of light cut through the canopy, and illuminated a small maple tree at the turn of a stream. The maple leaves were just on the verge of going yellow and orange
I feel like I should draw more here. I captured many photos, and will do my best to get back to this, time willing.
