Framing (Drawing: Looking down on a river)

by Henk ter Heide on Sunday May 13, 2007

Now I understand how my memory works it is a lot easier to draw plants from memory. I saw these plant driving to my work last week. A dike sloped down to the river “ijsel” and there grew some plants.

Looking at this picture it’s obvious that I have to spent some time thinking about framing. This is a mistake people usually make while there taking there holiday snapshots. Looking down from a hill they see a nice landscape and photograph it. Only to find that the photograph looks like it was taken of a flat field.

Here I make the same mistake. You can’t see that the plants are growing at an angle. It looks like the water is the sky. A bit strange sky but sky non the less.
