Very rough sketch of an oak near Spean Bridge - not my best effort. I would really like to do a proper study of some of these magnificent trees - the more you look the more detail and different colours you see . There were many more greens than browns in the bark. Maybe the most important aspect of sketching is that it forces you to look and appreciate the world rather than the end result which is inevitably a poor representation of reality.It's the process that's important , the picture is just an aide memoir of the atmosphere and feeling of the day. Below a quick sketch of the Ben from Torlundy with the summit wearing its normal cap of cloud.
