Shades of Nature

Overview

Nature, from white to black.

A series of five nature illustrations created as an exercise in tonal value - the gradual shift from white to black. Working only in greyscale, I set myself the challenge of building depth, light and atmosphere without relying on colour.

Each scene explores a different mood, from a rainy forest and snowy peaks to a moonlit lake and a pier under heavy clouds, showing how much can be said with a single range of greys.
