5 Quotes - 'They rode till noon & past noon. There was nothing along the road save the country it traversed & there was nothing in the country at all'.

Attempting to portray the sparsity of the landscape the characters travel through. Abstract yet bold portrayal of the road cutting across a empty body of land. Keeping mark making simple and sparse whilst still creating depth and vastness.  

Left page perhaps too abstract and unclear. Still creating textures with simple mark making but from different perspective so less context with which to work out form, perhaps too little. Other two turned out fairly boring and unimaginative, not much to interest a viewer, no focal point.

I like the disjointed feel to this one, although it does not really show the emptiness that the landscape is said to inherit. theres definitely potential with ripped up textures and layers to show depth, though. 

The most successful and my favourite outcome is the right one. It does not so obviously 'empty' as a landscape but it is still barren and has a really captivating 'dusty' texture to it. The paynes grey creates an excellent second tone and background layer. It exists as harsh and desolate as the landscape I imagine the characters traversing.
