bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Forests Near or Far View

Hi Paul, I can't draw worth beans and the only pic I had of a far view forest has been lost. Simply put a far view as Soonami stated has the smaller trees toward the front and larger towards the rear of the pot or slab giving the viewer an impression of a distant forest, whereas the near view is reversed which makes the forest appear much closer. I hope you can visualize what I am trying to explain. Philippe, I saw your sketch and found it to be interesting and an asset when I plant my first forest. I've been reading a lot about forest grouping and haven't seen your method. Thanks, it looks like it will make things simpler at planting time.
