In this landscape drawing of The Green the focus is the use of colour. As it was drawn during the evening with colour pastels, when house lights were turning on, it shows a more abstract tonal value between the vibrant colours of the shrubbery and the lights, in contrast to the the monochrome buildings. This use of a multitude of colours allows for an extremely impressionistic style to be used. There is a perspective error with the path, the edges should head towards a mutual vanishing point. There is however a good sense of depth despite this, due to the scale of the buildings in the backdrop. There is mixing of colours to various degrees and uses, the orange of the lamppost and the brown of the building midway through the drawing gives a impression of the light beginning to shine on the buildings wall.
