PAGE 10                              COMPOSING FOR THE VIEWER'S SENSES. Do we really just draw what we see?  Same old building. Label which one is__      1. responding to the feeling of a spring day.      2. zany, everything askew.      3. feeling of decay, erosion.      4. responding to rectangular shapes.      5. responding to the texture of weathered boards, the pattern of cast shadows.      6. feeling of belonging to the land.      7. feeling of discovery;  happening upon it suddenly.      8. a typical sterile camera shot. No feeling. No personal interpretation. We are indebted to Caroline Buchanan for these concepts.                                           www.buchananwatercolors.com
		These sketches are simple layoutsof lines, shapes and contours... with some of the dark patterns. Using a pencil, further develop each design by establishing midtones. Add more darks if you wish. Establish the source and direction of light before you create shading or cast shadows. Doing this, you should have made pleasing patterns of not only darks, bu also of lights and of midtones.
