This is my final piece I did for my concentration. I spent my childhood coming to this Mill and observing the old architecture of the building and the structures around it. The most challenging thing of this piece was adding black to it. I knew I needed more depth by adding black but my problem was were to add it. I do love the perspective of this because the iron guard rail draws you in and leads you to the center of the piece. I've noticed that the focal points in my pieces are led up to or hidden by trees, bushes, ect. I also like the waterfall I did, in reality there are mini waterfalls that continue after eachother, but this also captures where the water starts to settle.

This was one of my later pieces. I experimented with more of an "ink wash" however I just watered down black watercolor and painted over certain areas. This relates to the sentimental aspect of my concentration because my mother had her baby shower in this cabin when I wasn't born yet. My favorite part about this piece was the ferns, they were easy to achieve since I just did a continuation of loops. I am also proud of this piece cause I was able to create depth by thick dark lines instead of usual pen techniques such as stippling or cross hatching.
This piece is a bridge that I have previously used but it is also at a different view. I knew I wanted to do this in pen and ink because I'd be able to inflict my simplistic style on it and capture the various things without having the piece be cluttered. I first drew the main lines of the bridge and added the trees, plants, rocks, and water around it. Then I added an ink wash to define the actual ground and added it to the two roof tops. I love this piece because it is very light and not overbearing to the eye. However I did incorporate a few thick lines but not too many. This piece was very easy to create because I am now realizing what my style is and what I work best with.
