Lakefield Trail 2-5

Today I was sitting at A Place For The Arts, in Bancroft, Ontario.

Usually, there are a fair number of people going through the Gallery but today it was fairly quiet.

Fortunately, I always bring something with me to work on when there isn't anyone in the Gallery.

I decided I would do some small drawings, from photographs (see post on 28 September 2020) while I was sketching on the Lakefield Trail.

For the first one I worked mainly on a large maple tree that was close to where I was set up to sketch.

I added in a small amount of background bushes and tree trunks.

For the second drawing I worked on the trail where it had gone around the bend and in behind a large tree and went out of sight.

On the far side of the trail I indicated the trunks of a few mid-sized tree trunks and added some bushes and growies.

For my third drawing I decided to change the format from portrait to landscape and do the section of the trail where it approaches the bend with two of the larger trees on the left side of the trail on one of the mid-sized trees on the far side of the trail in front of the background small trees and bushes.

For my last drawing I did a row of the larger trees lining the right side of the Trail.

There is only a small amount of the Trail that is showing to the left of the trees.
