Landscape Observations The Amp #1

This is a landscape observation of the Amp at Bradford University done in charcoal and taken about 10-15 minutes.
This piece was drawn from an higher vantage point and the perspective hasn't been portrayed as well as it could have been, in certain parts it looks as though it doesn't quite know which angle it belongs in. The perspective used on the grass parts of the picture, where the tree, student and lamp post are, are generally in a good perspective and don't suffer too bad. In this study the artist has used subtle lines and smudges to convey the flows and rolls of the hill, so subtle that they are not entirely noticeable unless you look for it. The use of shading on the student sat down sketching uses a nice amount of subtle shading which helps add depth to the piece.
