Description

A compact guide to landscape drawing that shows how to capture the elements and detail of Trees and to create great artwork: from the Fruit to the Forest. Structured in a course format, each section builds confidence through analysis and detail to either start or build the quality of artistic output. Content includes both sketching and coloured pencil drawing, covering a broad range of techniques and skills for all levels of ability. Additional sections feature aspects of mixed media including collage, tracing and using found items such as twigs, moss or seedpods. Throughout the seasons – and in all weathers – How to Draw a Tree offers a unique insight and understanding of the natural world around us and how to capture its beauty in a sketchbook.
