DRAWING THE LANDSCAPE WITH JOHN PIPER

This is John Piper's landscape. He was an artist who loved the rocks and mountains of Snowdonia. He visited north Wales about 70 years ago and returned time and time again to draw and paint his way through the mountains. Now it's your turn. Get drawing ...

BEFORE AND AFTER ...

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE ...

John Piper made the top picture on the spot and a year later he copied it at home, but it was much bigger and more colourful. Do the same thing by making a drawing whilst you're out and about. Back at home, copy it in a way you couldn't outside.

List all the things you can see in each painting, then list all the things that look the same.
