FREE DRAWING - CHURCH OF COLOMBIA

---

Hello friends! On this occasion I made a free drawing inspired by a church in Colombia that I have seen in a sample of photographs and I have been struck by its ancient and rustic architecture, as well as the semi-desert landscape where it is contextualized. It's a pretty basic but picturesque drawing that gives a sense of distance that I call my attention, I hope that yours too.

Thankful for the help you give to artists within the Steemit community, the following communities: @cervantes, @c-squared, @mayvileros, @la-colmena, @curie, @artzone, @theunion, @ocd, @art-venture.

The image in which I have been inspired is in a book entitled REVELA COLOMBIA, published by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism, this being its first edition in 2009, this is basically a sample of photographs that They capture the culture and the Colombian landscape in a very welcoming way, that is why I decided to make this drawing of the Church of Siecha, Cundinamarca, contributing a little more depth and drama with two figures on the horizon, both in opposite directions. the other.

This time I started the drawing making a quick and rustic sketch of the most characteristic elements of the architecture of these two buildings represented, and then proceed to specify the details of facades and shadows of the church, as well as the housing adjacent to it, After that, develop the landscape with linear lines and shadows scattered on the ground to represent its depth, as well as the integration of two figures that are lost on the horizon, with a cloudy sky in chiaroscuro.
