Fading Light
This is an attempt at creating a "moody landscape", working with light and dark composition to create a mood. The viewer is slowly led into the dark veil of the woods with just hints of the trees deep in the shadows.
Here is a detail of the water. There is a tendency to leave the water in light values. But to create both transparency and depth, the water streaming over the rocks must be darkened. I used 2H and H chisel point leads to create the smooth flowing water. The turbulence and splashes use negative drawing...working in the shadows and base of the waves.
Another beautiful drawing! I just love your work and feel so inspired by it. I would love to learn to draw trees and landscapes, but feel intimidated by the complexity of trees, and don't know where to start because they seem so difficult to draw.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your work! I always look forward to see your new pieces.
