In 2021, I decided to teach myself to draw trees. Every month I had a page in Liverpool Arts Lab's Bodge Magazine featuring that month's tree picture.
Learning to Draw Trees is a book which brings together all 12 of those monthly trees, many of my intermediate sketches, and some advice and musings based on what I learned along the way.
I astounded myself with the progress I made over the course of the year. I hope that this book allows you to follow me along that enjoyable journey, and perhaps to learn to draw with me.
