Mirkwood

This forest was originally called Greenwood The Great, and was a dense and heavy forest that occupied the eastern part of  the Wilderland. It was originally a welcoming forest and a safe route for many travellers. It was originally the home of the Wood-elves.

With the return of Sauron, it became a haunted and dark place that was inhabited by many dark and evil things, and came to be called Mirkwood.

After the War Of The Ring,  Sauron was reduced to a powerless spirit of malice and the darkness was lifted. The forest regained its former place of welcome and was renamed The Wood of Green Leaves.

Howe Park – Fantasy Forest is an eye catching, but simple glazed landscape painting that is easy to do. Join me for a day time workshop on Saturday 7th January and at the end of the day, you will be taking this home. You will paint it under my tuition and it will be your own masterpiece. This is a suitable painting for any standard of painter from the never painted before, to the experienced. A relatively biggie at 100cm x 40cm. Creative ways to use a radiator roller. (more…)
