In my group's first environment drawing session with Lothar, we went to a Victorian-esque street, with cobbled roads and small, very vertical houses. Our first sketch, for about forty minutes, was simply to capture the scene, paying attention to perspective and the warping of our peripheral vision.
I chose to draw a small path coming off of the road, leading to two houses and a garden. In particular I liked the rough, uneven walls, the variety of textures, and also the darkness of the small tunnel.
The second sketch, for just short of an hour, was to take a scene and adapt it to make it more interesting, giving it a theme that was unintended for the scene originally. For this sketch, I decided to draw the church at one end of the street, buy adapt it to make it seem more industrial and mechanical.
One point of note to improve on was the separation of foreground and background, through the use of shading and the harshness of my marks.
