Landscape - Church Interior

This is a 1 hour charcoal pencil study of a church interior. The chosen vantage point creates a sense of depth by showing the varying perspectives on each arch. Depth is also created through the range of tonal variation to show the change in light, with under the arch being in shadow, but bright light coming from the other side of each of them.  Changes in texture are implied through the use of line and tone to create the impression of brickwork in some places that can be assumed continues along adjacent and similar areas, and also show the change in material from the brickwork to the fabric curtain by implying the folds, and the wood on the ceiling by using line to follow the grain.
