anne howeson

I looked at some of Anne Howeson's work, she has done some architectural drawings but has used colour and size to create meaning and atmosphere. 

They are very atmospheric drawings, the looming dark skyscrapers in the background create quite an ominous feeling. The use of light colours on some buildings draws attention to them, making them seem bigger and more important or even more positive when it is a warmer colour. She has used her artistic licence to exaggerate these places, she has drawn the building and put in more that weren't actually there to put a point across. It is clear that she feels there is a relationship these buildings have with the physical and psychological geography. 
I read an article of hers where she talks about this reportage work, she said her 'first scribbles often contain the first thing i want to say but i like refining, it brings out the personality' I think I want to try a similar method, where I do some initial drawings at a location so that I get a feel of what I want the finals to show  but then go back and refine, and add to exaggerate my point.
