Super work. It makes you wonder how these branches grow this way.

I love trees Martin, and this one is very well observed. Just think its been standing there about 100 years or more.

You have a real talent with trees Martin, and all their tangly ways! Very good.

This is brilliant Martin. The texture and structure of the tree is really good against the misty background.

Interesting way of working Martin, but I get the idea…that tree is really fabulous!

Very authentic looking old tree, well observed.

Wish I could do trees like this Martin. It isn’t just the image you capture, there is that extra ‘life,’ I’m sure if I looked long enough I would see movement in the branches and twigs! Love it …….

Wonderfully twisted branches from this oak tree entice me to draw it again. Started en plein air with Fude pen and ink made up from walnut ink and carbon ink in a 20:1 ratio. I then flooded the paper and allowed the inks to bleed. When dry I had to redraw much of the picture as the lines had largely disappeared. Added watercolour washes to finish. On Saunders Waterford watercolour block 20x16”
