Natural Landscapes in Colour

The image is of a small bridge and the river running under it. It was created using pastels. Looking at the image there have been different colours used and some of them mixed together such as the shadows in the water green and blue have been mixed. The bridge has had different colours and the bridge can be seen clearly because of the layers of colours. Also there is distinct colour between the tree next to the bridge and the trees in the background which have several different shades of green. The rule of third can be applied in the single tree is the focal point and the eye leads you across the bridge and along the waterline to give you an implied line.
