S3 have created this Multi-disciplinary project exploring depth & detail.
Using Linear Perspective they created the garden drawing. Using Watercolour techniques they added Aerial Perspective boosting the illusion of depth. Figures display Proportion & Form.
Are you drawn in?

The Art Dept are sad today, hearing the news of John Byrne’s passing. An artist in every sense. What an example to all of our young creatives. Here’s a great wee interview from a few years back wit Krishnan Guru-Murthy of Channel 4 News. RIP JB.
