The aim of this landscape drawing session was to firstly study perspective and how it works for large interiors, and secondly experiment with new drawing materials while doing so. This drawing was completed in 2 hours, using markers, and an impressionistic approach.
The most notable aspect of this image is the depth that the entire scene seems to have, and this is helped by correct observation of perspective. The perspective is successful because of the construction lines used to initially mark the interior on paper, and which are still visible on the finished piece. The sense of depth is also created by strong implied lines going towards the far end of the room, following furniture or arcs in diagonal angles.
Shading also plays an important role in offering depth to the scene, though the left side of the drawing seems to lack it and this creates an unpleasant visual imbalance. Details were done in an impressionistic manner which works perfectly when dealing with such a complex interior. Subtle hints of columns, chairs, people and flower ornaments seem to complete the overall atmosphere of the drawing.
