How to Draw a Tree: From the Fruit to the Forest - Alex Boon

Alex Boon’s How to Draw a Tree is a compact hardback guide to landscape drawing, centred on capturing the detail and character of trees from fruit to forest. Presented as a step-by-step course for the nature artist, it offers a structured approach that builds confidence through each section.

The book covers both sketching and coloured pencil drawing, with a broad range of techniques and skills suited to all levels of ability. Additional sections explore mixed media, collage and the use of found natural items such as twigs, moss and seedpods. Across the seasons and in all weathers, it offers insight into the natural world and ways to translate it into sketchbook work.
