An amazing drawing/painting of this beautiful, old tree. It almost looks Humana and you have done it great justice Carole.

What a character Carole, I bet you couldn’t help yourself and you gave it a big hug! I know I wouldn’t be able to resist touching the bark etc. Lovely textured drawing.

Really good drawing Carole and I like Alan's phrase 'a deliciously tactile tree'. Your drawing conveys that so well and I can easily imagine running my hands over the bark of this wonderful ancient tree.

Pencil 2b,6b and Caran d’ache green watercolour pencil. A photo taken on walk in Padley Gorge a beautiful ancient place with twisted trees and streams. This beautiful old tree was covered in lumps and bumps, mosses, holes must be a few hundred years old.
