Comparison Of Landscapes For the assignment I selected two landscape drawings. One is of the outskirts of the city of Padua and the other is a drawing from Donato Creti. There are many different ways to draw landscapes, as each of the two drawings show. In the drawing of the city Padua, the artist, gives us the perception that the drawing is taken place out side the city. The artist uses the city as a horizon line across the center of the drawing. In the drawing the artist uses a lot of diagonal lines to create a downward feeling, almost like your standing at a top of a hill and looking down on the city. To create make something dark or create a shadow of something the artist has a tendency to use thicker lines that are closer together to create the image. While the artist still has areas that he uses solid black, it is not a common theme throughout the drawing. Looking at the drawing you get the feel that the sun is behind the artist because darker lines in the center of the drawing, almost in the spot of where a shadow would be created by the building.
