Hello! Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I wanted to share with you my paintings capturing the forest at the Hafod Estate in Cwmystwyth, Wales. I loved exploring the forest here last autumn and observing all the different hues. The ground was crunchy with autumn leaves and it seemed very earthy and enchanting. Similarly, to the sand dunes, I found painting the forest very calming and relaxing, it helped me switch for a while and enjoy exploring.
When I was exploring the forest, I found it very quiet and still and I enjoyed doing some observational sketching. There was a small waterfall and I ended up following the river through the forest.
Below are some of the sketches I drew from observation when I was exploring the forest at Hafod.
