View finder


This is what we call a view finder. It consists on focusing only on a part of a painting and draw it. I decided to paint one of the most famous work of art of Vincent Van Gogh: "Starry Night Over the Rhone" as I fell in love with it from the first time I saw it. It was a challenge but I could pass through it. It is the first time that I've tried to imitate one of the most famous artists of all history but I really like the final result. The purpose of this task was mainly to imitate the brushtroke of the artistic movement: Post-Impressionism, and I confess it was the most difficult part. :)

Hue, value and saturation


Determination, patience, water and only five colours are essential for this drawing. Here we can see the three attributes of colour: the hue, the value and the saturation from the primary colours. I really like all these changes of colour and as I said in the colour wheel picture, it was only a way of practicing but the effect it makes is wonderful :)

Figure and background


This is the figure and background we've done on the first term. At first, it seems like a normal landscape but if you look at it properly, you'll find more than one picture. This is what we call an optical illusion.

In my opinion, it looks pretty good despite the fact it was the first time I've done a landscape completely with a pencil. :)
