Woodlands offer a captivating canvas for creativity and an opportunity to portray the essence, mood and character of these enchanting natural environments. Focusing on a personal selection of locations in the Cotswolds this workshop will encourage you to slow down, reconnect with nature and share the magic of our local woodlands.
You will learn about common woodland themes and the appropriate compositional techniques to capture a diverse range of subjects – from trees, branches and leaves, to fungi, wildlife and abstract details.
Starting with colour, form and texture we will consider the impact of changing seasons and lighting conditions before exploring some of the broader concepts that may be used as the foundation for a woodland project:
Drama, light and energy Nature and shelter Lifecycle, time and memory Character and relationships Chaos and order
You can choose a 3-hour session or a full day workshop (that includes a more comprehensive pre-workshop briefing and provides more time to progress your chosen woodland assignment).
