This piece incorporates all 4 of the conte crayon colours and is a view from the top of the Amp at Bradford University which took about 20-25 minutes to complete.
The amount of layering used in this picture has allowed the artist to add a large amount of detail to the picture which makes the trees pop forward and become the main focal point of the piece. By starting with the darkest of the conte crayons and adding layers upon layers to the trees the artist was able to make the trees seem, more 3D. After adding more of the lighter colours until they got to the white which was then smudged back into the drawing to add more depth and the tonal value's that can be seen. The depth is added to further by the inclusion of the simple but nicely detailed rocks in the background.
