Week 5 - Formative assessment

Today we had a formative assessment with our tutor, the feedback I got from the assessment was that I need to do more overprinted trees, using the colours 'from dusk till dawn' in naturalistic colours. As the leaders from Hay said the same. I did some research into the kinds of colours trees turn during the day, night and morning. I look on the internet to do this, then took from that and started to use different kinds of green to identify the different shades.

I did try to experiment using only green, but I found it was a little difficult to find certain greens that didn't have blues in, although I found this difficult I still created an Illustration using greens only. Although these are different coloured green trees, my tutor advised that I focused more on the idea of it being from 'dawn till dusk' and the materials used to created these trees (oil pastel and acrylic) are too blocked and make the illustration too bold. It was preferred to be light and delicate.

Although my original trees are coloured, I decided not to go for a naturalistic look, because for me,  as it'll be a forest with green trees, I also considered the target audience and the fact there will be families there, (children to be more specific) and I think, as well as myself, that they would prefer some colour in the trees.
So, for my final illustrated trees, I will have the trunk stylised the same way as before, although i won't be sticking to the colours they want me to use, but I will be using the other feedback they gave me of having my trees start from dawn and fade to dusk. The way I will do this is start with warmer colours as a forest of trees, fading into green trees (although I am including colour trees, the majority of the trees will be green but only in between the warm and dark coloured forests,) and ending in dark colours, so the theme will still be from dusk to dawn.
