Rogie Falls 2 Impressions
To create the impression of a distant wood crammed with individal trees I have used fly stitch to create triangles to form the shapes that we see from a distance.

Continue adding trees to your plantation intermingling the Forestry’s fir trees with the gold of the larch trees in Autumn. You can start bringing in other colours to represent more native trees such as Birch with their distinctive pale trunks.

Also to give the impression of depth consider using two strands of cotton or Outlining in darker shades to add depth

From impression of a distant wood to the impression of individual trees

The fir trees nearest to the camera are slightly larger. A little bit more attention to detail is required as you bring in colour and the impression of shape to individual trees.

Nature is rarely tidy so the impression of a wild undergrowth mixed with the  paler trunks of felled trees is created by hatching randomly.   Using a range of different coloured threads mainly greens, browns and creams with a little burnt orange in the mix continue using your needle to go under and/or over other threads tugging them very gently this way and that.
