Research for art assignment set 3

F0r this set the assignments the in class assignment was "Extreme Foreshortening/Extreme point of view". The observation had to be 50/50 with the aid of a photo permitted. This was pretty hard for me because I'm not good at foreshortening.

I did alot of practice sketching in my sketchbook, but nevertheless it didn't come out so great.

It needs more visual tension, and I need to try to stop making things parallel with the sides of the paper and probably some better mark making ,Oh well.

For our homework I did a watercolor landscape of some trees, then I went back in with colored pencil to add the details. I really liked how other medias help bring a sort of punch to art work. I liked it but I should of made my backround balance the foreground.. oops. I looked at Gregory Conley http://www.watercolorpainting.com/gregoryconley/landscapes.htm and Maud Durland http://www.maudart.com/Landscape2.html . I love how there work looks clean and not forced.
