The Street Behind

 I think this is about page 10 of 40 in my personal visual diary challenge, where I skill build my way through 40 pages of A3 black paper with chalk pastel.

It's obvious that black background isn't always the best choice. My drawing looks more stormy than sunny.

I practised composition - lining up with the rule of thirds, perspective - road getting narrower in the distance, and layers in the landscape.

I used a setting spray after drawing, and it makes the pastel a bit more translucent. Eep!

Edit: I've since found out that i can layer over the top again after spraying to make the colour more opaque.

I've created a time lapse video: it's on my Tik Tok and instagram both with user name: @bizarrequilter
