Garbage Day



The contrast between the bright colors of the garbage bins and the grays create a popping display. There's a certain subversion regarding the trash being the vibrant part of this picture that's very appealing. The perspective also gives this drawing a dynamic imbalance. The simple method of capturing the brick walls in the background is an effect means of communicating the material of the building. The shading is a bit rough and uneven, as are the lines. While this makes the colored pencil drawing less than ideal, it also evokes a certain sense of freedom being brought to the piece. Most interesting about this piece is how it attempts to show beauty with nothing more than the day's trash.
