Salt Deposits at the Dead Sea

Today’s sketch is based on another on line drawing I made at the Dead Sea Tuesday. My goal today was to give the landscape a sense of depth.

I used cooler colors with less value for the Jordanian mountains, intending to make them recede. Additionally, I lowered the mountains and increased the the portion of paper the sky was on to make the mountains seem further away. Finally, I used warm colors and defined the foreground more to make the foreground seem closer.

This sketch was made in ink on multimedia paper and then imported into Procreate where color was addded.
