16. Inside the Dome


Inside the Dome
73 cm (w) x 53 cm (h), pastels and charcoal on acid-free paper.
Date produced: 2005

This was drawn entirely on-site. This was started as a description of form and space, using accurately drawn boughs, coloured using an exaggerated aerial perspective. The overall tone was kept reasonably high. I was wanting to keep the drawing fairly ‘open’ and not get too bogged down with a lot of fine detail.

I tried to draw the canopy behind the mass of boughs as a simplified dome, slightly leaning towards the prevailing sunshine (to the left). I could sense this orientation in the real canopy.
