Engaging the viewer into a picture is what I feel, an important faculty of a successful composition. One way to do this is to define the foreground, middle ground and the background as separate planes, each consisting of a different rendering of focus, texture and detail. To draw the view into the picture is to actually put the viewer in the shoes of the view.
I chose a photo I took from Fletcher Moss Gardens because I liked the movement in the scene.
There was a clear cross section between the water/reflections on the right bottom side and the clear blue sky on the top left, with the path winding towards the middle of the scene. I chose chalk pastel pencils to reflect the vibrant colours of the autumn leaves, and went to work on representing the view.
In addition to the original scene I augmented a few additional images to add interest to the picture. I added a Victorian cottage from a photo I took in Wythenshawe Park into the middle ground to give it some purpose, and a tree branch from a photo I took in Tatton Park into the foreground to direct the viewers eye towards the centre point of the drawing. Also adding the railing to the bottom of the drawing to place the viewer into the shoes of the photographer and engage them into the picture.
Relating these factors, close, mid and far, and how you treat the textures of each, details fading the further away the objects are give an intense, intimate dynamic to a scene which I think can really boost the feeling of a drawing/composition, the main point being to be able to capture the emotion and atmosphere of a scene and the ability to integrate that emotion into the viewer, even if they are sitting in a room or a gallery, they can still feel what the artist was feeling when they produced the drawing.
The railings and the additional tree branch I felt added to the movement and position of the drawing and the contrast between the textures of the tress and foliage against the water created an interesting scope. Especially because the water was actually reflecting the surroundings, allowing me to combine and blend all the elements of the colour of the scene into one. As previously mentioned the utilizing and separation of a foreground, mid and background, handling or rendering each one in a different way can create a depth to the drawing that otherwise could not be achieved.
