This was a preliminary sketch put together from source photographs, for a workshop I tutored for Alwalton Art Group in 2011, who requested a bluebell wood for the subject.
To draw a scene like this out effectively, means understanding it, and being able to perceive it, and envisage it, as a three-dimensional space. Light foliage falling across the trunk of the foreground tree has to be carefully shaded around, and continuity needs to be closely monitored to avoid any awkward errors (the branches of background trees passing impossibly in foreground trees, for example).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ORIGINAL PENCIL DRAWING
Almost all watercolour paintings produced by Peter Woolley are developed from pencil
sketches made on-site or in the studio. In the course of that development, further working sketches
are often produced in order to explore the subject and work towards a final, satisfactory
composition. This drawing is a unique document; if it has been used in the process of creating a finished watercolour, it may contain marks of handling or even spots of watercolour. Such marks should not considered flaws; instead, they should be thought of as an integral part of the character of the drawing. To protect
its integrity, the artist has signed and dated it on the reverse.
This original drawing has been produced on 160lb smooth, white paper, with a 2B graphite pencil. For drawing dimensions, please see the main information panel above. The price quoted is for the drawing to be supplied to you unframed, in protective packaging with rigid backing panel, ready to take to a framer. A quote for framed work will be provided on request.
