The Greenway

Beginning on February 11 we spent four days in the local Greenway to begin our first large scale project. We spent the days wandering the Greenway and sketching possible objects to render.

Here are some photographs from the first week in the Greenway. I was in love with my surroundings there but couldn't find any particular thing to concentrate on during the first week.

Later I finally decided to concentrate on the Saw Palmetto, Serenoa repens. It is an iconic plant of Florida and is found all over the Greenway, such as in the last photo above.

Above are two renderings that I did in the Greenway to work with composition for my final project. I am settling on the second image of the two palm fronds interweaving. I believe this will be interesting to look at. I will render this in large scale with colored pencil.

I hope I will be able to properly render the design of the plant including its color, shadow and texture.
