Piranesi,  a master of perspective and etching, created these imaginary spaces using two point perspective, changes in scale and atmosphere....

You can learn more about this wonderful artist here @ http://www.artchive.com/artchive/P/piranesi.html  and here @ http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/pira/hd_pira.htm

Here are some examples of his work...

Building a Drawing With Pieces....

Look at how Mr. Le takes parts from other photos and "weaves" them into his drawings.... What a clever time saving idea!

  Look how even this loose sketch has depth from changes in VALUE and CLARITY...See how the colors fade out to blue-greys?

 See the use of extreme perspective in this image?

Experiential Drawing

How can you make a drawing that says more than what a camera can about an object?

Create 3 6X6 inch (300 dpi) sketches on different layers in response to these tree photos

Use a variety of marks, lines and shapes in your drawing....

You must create a range of 6 values in the drawings as well.....


THEN,

combine the drawings into a larger image describing the tree!!!

Special thanks to Hannah for the photos

Here are some examples of "Master Drawings" of trees.... mimic their use of MARKS! Notice how they create values by layering marks!!

First, Rembrandt's "Three Trees"

Details of it...
