Hebden Bridge
The next place I thought about drawing was Hebden Bridge. I have passed this place so many times on the train but have never actually stopped off at it. From passing on the train I noticed that the area is very green, and has a lot of old buildings, which I thought would be quite exciting to capture. The area is also very hilly, therefore I think it would be exciting to look at perspective, and the different angles of the different locations. I also chose to have Hebden Bridge as one of my places to visit because I have been recommended to go there a few times for a nice day out. These recommendations were given to me in the summer however, but hopefully it doesn't change the atmosphere of the place, being in winter.
I am mainly interested in the actual bridge area and the centre where there are lots of nice, little, pop up shops. Hopefully when I go to Hebden Bridge, I will be able to draw SOME of the drawings on the spot, and also thumbnail and take pictures. I intend to make notes to try and capture the feel of the town, but I expect it to be quite quaint and a rather quiet place. This then, is the complete opposite of my first are; The Trafford Centre, which I think is an interesting turnout.
Since the area is archaic, i'm not sure what materials I will be using specifically. I hope to have some colour, even though when passing on the train, the area just has a palette of neutral colours. I think watercolour then would be a good option to go for, as well as pencil and also fine liner, since I got such good feedback using this medium in the last study task. Since there are a lot of trees, I think shadows will also be exciting to take into consideration, and shading. I hope to draw portrait and landscape depending on the composition and what works best at the time.
