The woodland to the north is ancient rather than planted, and the working difference between the two is the height and the closure of the canopy. From full leaf until it drops, the floor sits in continuous shade, and light that does get down to a face has passed through leaves, so it arrives carrying a green cast. Skin drifts towards that cast, and olive, sage and khaki clothing doubles it, which is why a July sitting under the trees wants warm cloth and not green. Through the leafed months the better plan is to work where the trees stop. Open sky overhead removes the cast entirely and turns the wood into a background instead of a lid, which is why clothing here should run lighter than people assume. Bark, leaf litter and shadow all sit at the dark end of the scale, so a mid-brown coat in front of them reads as one mass with no edge to it, while cream, oatmeal, rust and warm grey all separate cleanly. Winter reverses the whole calculation. With the leaves down, light reaches the ground, the wood photographs open and graphic, and the green cast has gone with the leaves that caused it, so December and January are the months when a sitting can go in among the trees rather than beside them. The suburb's own brick is the other resource. Interwar brick is a warm red, and on a sunlit residential street it returns that warmth into the shadowed half of a face, which is a gentler fill than any reflector we could hold up.
