TEXTURE IN LANDSCAPES

Texture is an important part of landscapes; the softness of a cloud, the hard edges of rocks and the coarseness of tree bark are qualities worth rendering. When drawing landscapes often it is best to merely suggest texture rather than draw individual elements. For example, when drawing the foliage of a tree, do not draw each leaf; instead, suggest the quality of the foliage.

I created a dominant silhouette of the trees by using the side of a charcoal pencil to produce soft tones rather than drawing the actual trees.
