This Sunday morning we did get out of the house early again to be in the woods for a walk when it would still be quiet. This time we rode to a small place called Rucphen and walked in the woods for almost two hours.
Some parts of the woodland were thick with bushes, some parts were more open. There also was variation in the kind of trees, this part had mainly fir trees. There are some birches in the patch in the background, the separation between the different patches in this woodland is very clear. The nature management organization plans to change that, but growing a forest takes years, not months.
This part of the woods was nice and open, with patches of sunlight on the ground, some shadows and the tall trees that once were planted for the production of straight planks.
Now there is much more space between them and that inspired me to make some reference pictures and to make a charcoal drawing as soon as possible.
I did doubt about the technique I wanted to use and decided that the more laborious one will be used later. So there will be another drawing with trees, some bushes in the background and.... later!
The details about the materials I used, the availability and contact information are in the link at my website www.jannekesatelier.webs.com
