Week 12 - Landscapes - Colour 2

This was my drawing for week 12 on the topic of colour in landscapes again. It took aproximetly 50 minutes in total. The drawing shows a low detailed scene with a noticable dominanse of horisontal lines. In terms of composition, the drawing puts the wide grass field in the foreground in a rule-of-thirds line. The gap between the closest buildings also seems to get close to the vertical rule-of-thirds line. As mentioned, there are very strong horizontal lines that give the feeling of a pattern that gives an overall feeling of order in the drawing. The bands of green and grey shading further enhance the feeling of a pattern.
It is hard to say wether the perspective is correct because of the level of detail and the nature of the scene.
Light and colour seem to have been represented accurately. The image clearly shows a dull day (there are no hard shadows or brightly lit areas) The colours for the grass fields accurately shows the mixture of hues commonly present in grass areas (hues of green, brown, orange). The muddy road on the bottom of the drawing also shows good variation of brownish hues, but might need to be darker. The forests further away shows various hues of brown, green and orange - somewhat typical for the period of very early spring.
The shading on the houses also attempts to show the light direction - on the left and against the drawing viewpoint.
