30 Min Sketch of a Lord Of The Rings Scene

Within A Forest

Next painting is one I made as an assignment for a workshop online (thanks, Carly!). It's inspired by a text about a person walking through a forest. I took the title from the second line of Dante's inferno:

Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
(translation by Longfellow)
