Forest bathing illustration for editorial

  • Carolyn Rea

Originating in Japan, Forest Bathing is the practice of spending time in woodland to counteract the stresses of modern life, boost mood and immune function and increase an overall sense of well-being. A visit to the New Forest in the UK, inspired the creation of illustrations on this theme. The pieces would reflect the tranquil, peaceful and restorative nature of walking among trees. Intended for final use in editorial, a layout was designed to include the illustrations.
