Coast & Rocks

'Whitby Cliff Face' 

I was interested in the composition and shapes of the cliff face and the striations of colour which were present in the  rock. I used pencil and coloured pencil to try and represent the layering of the rock formations. I also used pencil shading  and line work to try and enhance the sense of movement in the changing tide and the juxtaposition between the solidity of  the rock and erosion of the coastline. 

'Defence' 

A drawing interpreting where the sea defence wall meets the cliffs at Whitby. I was interested in the contrast between the  straight, uniform, imposing lines of the manmade sea defence and the movement in the changing, unstable, natural cliff. I used  pencil to try and enhance this contrast between the different lines of the solid sea defence and fragile natural cliff. I also used  pencil in one unified tone to enhance the idea of the two structures integrating together.
