Description
My second piece for the art class I'm taking. Sorry it took me so long to post it. I'm lazy.
This is just a gazebo in my yard, seen through the iron rod gates. The assignment was a landscape, obviously.I like how this came out, and it wasn't as hard as it seemed when I first started. All those little branches and leaves were actually really easy, they were just repetitive, like a pattern. My dad is in love with this piece. He wants to frame it because he's obsessed with his gazebo. I should charge him money.

Can tortillion blend other than Charcoal? I meant, Oil pastels will do?

To add to the string of unhelpful praise, I love this picture. I just want to open up the gate and go sit down inside. It just looks very ... comfortable. And peaceful.
(And you should definitely start posting from your sketchpad!)

*slaps her own forehead* Boy that came out wrong. Not... that everyone else's comments were unhelpful, because they weren't. My comments just tend to be unhelpful.

I just put down a base gray, smoothed it. Used a paper stencil to add tons of leaves, then used vine charcoal and erasers for light and dark branches. They were simple, really.
