As I’ve mentioned in previous logs, I tend to rely on photographic reference more than I should. For this exercise I was determined to draw from life rather than use a photo. I really wanted to go back to my favourite spot in Locke Park, where I’d done my 360 study. But living in northern England, we have this little thing called weather to deal with. On the day I had planned to do this exercise, it was chucking it down, a proper pea souper. Drawing in the wild just wasn’t an option, but I still wanted to draw from life. So to the kitchen I went, drawing board in hand and the window would have to suffice. Re-reading the exercise now, I haven’t really followed it to the letter, I’ve reinterpreted it somewhat. I really wanted to push the separation of the different levels, make them obvious and very distinct. To achieve this I decided to use a different colour to represent each of the levels. Here is what I produced.
