View from Cafeteria Balcony
2024
Oil pastel on paper
25 x 20 inches
This en-plein-air drawing shows the view of the lower buildings, track and score board, and the surrounding houses and mountains I see from my school Cafeteria. I felt drawn to capture this view because of the many contrasting colors, specifically the fall trees and blue mountains. This drawing took 3.5 hours to complete.
The loose sketching and bright colors were inspired by the Fauvist movement.
