Unfinished sketch. I’d have liked to capture more of the light (and detail, for that matter) in this scene but it changes so quickly in the morning that I got left behind. I need to be quicker, for this.

Could just take a photo but it’s not the same; in trying to capture the details before they change, you become extremely perceptive and appreciative of all the details. A certain glistening or shadow will be gone in moments, the colours change, whole trees disappear behind fog, etc. Drawing becomes a meditation on nature, change, emotional connection with the environment…
