Colour in Spring

This is a study of colour in spring within landscapes and architecture, using colour pastels to create the drawing it took around 20 minutes. Using 2 shades of green, 2 shades of brown and a light blue and yellow, this turned out well, blending the shades together to create a smooth transition and gradients for the edges of the pond and the rise up to the path. There is balance in the drawing, where most things in the bottom half are light, but the top half is darker, the drawing could improve by go over again in another layer of pastels. There are 2 focal points of this drawing the pond is one of them, as it is one of the darker areas surrounded by the fence, but also the blue sky in the background.
To show the direction of the sun was done by going over the colour with yellow, to give it a brighter effect this works well and gives it a more 3 dimensional look. The perspective is a little of but overall the drawing is successful in blending colours and creating a spring type drawing.
