Tree study after A. L. Guptil
The trees I have to draw in a commissioned reconstruction drawing have proved difficult to get right. In an effort to improve them I have done a series of studies and enrolled inspiration from a fellow artist, Pat Southern-Pearce. This conifer tree is based on a drawing in Arthur L Guptil's 1922 book " Drawing and Sketching in Pencil", re-issued by Dover Publications in 2007. Hopefully the looser style will help me the trees in my reconstruction drawing looking more tree like.
