The Landscape of Woldgate
The scene depicts a wooded area within the Yorkshire landscape during a period of seasonal change. A dirt path occupies the lower portion of the composition, leading the eye through a collection of trees and ground cover. In the foreground and middle ground, various species of trees appear with emerging foliage. The ground is covered in grass and scattered flowers that introduce specific points of color to the forest floor. Light filters through the canopy, creating patches of brightness against darker, shaded areas of the earth and bark. The arrangement of the trees creates a sense of depth, with certain trunks positioned closer to the viewer and others receding into the background.
Technique and Digital Execution
This work was produced using an iPad and the Brushes application. The method involves digital drawing that is later printed on paper. The lines and marks reflect the use of a digital interface, where the artist utilizes the screen to establish a palette of colors rapidly. These digital strokes are layered to represent the way light interacts with new leaves and blossoms. The final output consists of an iPad drawing printed in colors on wove paper. This approach allows for a specific type of colorimetry, focusing on how the eye perceives light and hue through the use of yellows, oranges, and greens. The execution captures the textures of the woods through digital precision.
Context and Seasonal Observation
The creation of these images took place in 2011, specifically documenting the transition from winter to spring in East Yorkshire, England. The process involved working en plein air, observing the Woldgate woods as the environment changed from January through June. This period of observation recorded the movement of light and the gradual appearance of new growth on the branches. The work is part of a larger series of over fifty pictures that document this specific seasonal progression. By using a digital medium, the artist was able to respond to the changing light and plant life in real-time as the season evolved.
