Fabulous, grand tree Carole. Lovely twisty and foreshortened branches but loose and organic. It’s a cracker!

A very good 20 minuter!

Can’t beat a good lively tree sketch and this is really good Carole. I’m lacking inspiration myself on these gloomy days , maybe I’ll try a tree!

This reminds me of the Whomping Willow from the Harry Potter films. Lovely mark making.

A very animated, characterful tree Carole. Love them without their foliage and this one is so expressive.

Posted by Carole Kelly on Fri 06 Feb 09:44:44

Thanks so much all. Yes Tessa a tree in a quick sketch is a good bit of inspiration and it turns out different every time 😊

Thanks to Fiona and Sarah for some inspiration drawing Winter trees I did a 20min sketch this morning. I used aHB and a soluble graphite pencil.
