Because of the nice weather we had lately I went for an early walk in the 'Alblasserbos' , a small forest area on walking distance of my home. There is a signposted walk through the forest that follows a nice path. For the more adventurous walkers there are small paths that can be really wet after some rain.
The name 'forest' is maybe a bit overdone for the place, but for us it is a nice spot with large trees. There even are two areas that are called 'Alblasserbos' and they are both protected. The Dutch word 'bos' means forest.
The signposted walk has a few seats close to the path, each with a nice view. During my walk I took some rest on one of those seats and made some sketches.
The shape and perspective of the bridge is a bit of a challenge, especially when you are sketching with only one pencil. So I have made several studies to get the bridge right.
I have used all of those for this charcoal drawing of the view that inspired me.
