Classical Interiors

This is a 30 minute landscape drawing of the interior of a church local to the artist. The piece is not completely finished due to time constraints. The piece has its upsides however, most notably in the way the perspective of the curves changes the further away they get from the vantage point. the curves around the top of the columns too adhere to this constant, and because they are higher than the vantage point they do not become straight. It is has good tonal contrast as the roof behind the arches are much darker than the rest of the piece. The white chandeliers oppose the dark roof but are not equal to it. making it unbalanced. The orthogonal lines of the piece do match up with each other onto a vanishing point, these are the the bottom of the dark roof, and the darker line behind the columns; this line also acts as the horizon line. The pews have faults in that they should be angles more acutely to the dark line behind the columns to give an impression of the height of the interior.
