I used my drawing from the last exercise to develop in colour to give some depth to picture using a limited palette in pencils. The primary colours of red and blue were perfect for the stripes on the ambulance, sky and the added detail on the shop fronts and gave contrast to the neutral yellows and browns of the building.
I took a photo to show the view I was looking at. This was very useful later to compare my drawing and and detail I could improve on. Looking at both in the comfort of my home, I could have given more time to draw the windows and brickwork in the main building to the left and the pavement to show it had been raining. I could have also drawn much deeper, richer colours to give contrast in the shadows. I changed the angle of the pavement in hope it would balance the picture which I am very pleased with.
