Week 6 Skies and seas



This is a landscape drawing, showing the horizon and the sky above the horizon. The landscape is made with colored pastels for about fifteen minuets. The color palette used for the sky is made from a few colors - 
white, black, gray and blue. I have chosen to make the cloud highlights white, and the shadows black. The viewer can Easley spot the horizontal line, because it is been split by completely different color.
The information below the horizontal line is very poor, because particularly for this drawing, the ground is not that important as the sky. 

The sky is very dark, just like the clouds, and the highlights on the clouds make them visible on the range of the whole dark, mono colored sky. The gap among the sky and the ground is the end border for the 
clouds, the place where the light starts to come out, but is still far away. The main light source for the cloud comes from the right side of the landscape, but unfortunately, it is not as strong as desired.
The clouds are made by using different ways of using the pastels. The background is made with the long side of the pastel, while the highlights are made with the thin edge.
