Week 12: Colour 2

A 20 minute colour study using chalk pastels.

This is somewhat more competent as an image than the previous colour study. There is nice depth, created by the shadow of the birdbath and the shadow behind it, it seems very obvious that it is not just a part of the background. The red tree in the foreground is also good for breaking up the image and creating depth, as well as observing rule of thirds. The plant in the foreground of the middle is not so good, however, as it doesn't really seem to be in front of the gravel floor, perhaps due to lack of tonal values and also it is slightly transparent due to the medium used.
