When drawing from woodland scenes, Caitlin encourages drawing from life as well as from photograph and memory. Making preliminary drawings outside can be a helpful way of capturing some of the epic nature of the scene before you before a camera lens shrinks this down to a small scale. The challenge of translating 3D into 2D is removed by a camera lens, so including drawing from real life in your practice maintains an integrity to the experience of encountering your subject matter in person.
