    Hi. Your picture with the cows reminds me of a drawing I did in 6th or 7th grade. It was a baby bison near a fence with a treeline in the distance. That was one of my favorite things ever to draw, and it was my first art contest submission outside of elementary school!

    You are very talented, and I enjoyed your sketches. I'll have to check your page again when I draw something with trees or do more nature sketches. Thanks for sharing! :)

    Wonderful indeed, drawing for me is an art form that some have, and others can be taught but those who teach it are truly blessed with this technique.

    Wonderful instructions, I must refer this lens to our woodland walking members.

    I find the foliage the hardest part to depict. I think a good point to start out is with non accurate representations, at least in detail. If you get the general shape down, you can work your way up as you become more skilled.

    Great, Awesome! I too love to draw trees. It's been a while but this lens is inspiring me to get out my sketch pad! One of my favorite drawings from HS is long gone, done in Ink with "dots", I really loved it. It was a great exercise and I also learned how to "see" while drawing. Saving this lens for future Tree Drawing. You Have Been Blessed!

    Really great lens! I have lately tried to develop my artistic drawing talents, such as they are, in the evenings. So when I saw your lens on drawing trees I was attracted to it. Quite helpful. Thanks for all your efforts.

    This is an inspiring lens! If there's one talent I wish I had, it would be a talent for drawing. I was excited to see you have a whole list of drawing lenses! I will have to explore them all... who knows, maybe I will be able to draw!

    Very thorough and informative on this subject. I'm a tree lover myself. Trees can sometimes be a challenge to depict but you shed a lot of light on how to do that in drawing. You have some very nice drawing here.

    I recently began sketching and find it very relaxing. Thank you for the help on trees.
  • EditionH Oct 15, 2011 @ 1:44 am | delete
    Thank you for your commment. Sketching or drawing helps me to live the moment, just to look and see, it stops my otherwise busy thinking especially when I get's into the flow and forget about time and what is around. Yes it is relaxing and refreshing the mind.

    Great lens - I always battle to get trees to look realistic - this ought to help. Blessed

    I came across your site by searching for trees - my wife loves trees - mainly photographing them but drawing them is just fine - thank you

    Wish I had that kind of talent. My father was very good at drawing, but apparently I didn't inherit that gene.

    Wow, there are hours upon hours of study time here. How nice of you to share your knowledge of drawing trees. My favorite trees (as I lived around them) are olive and California pepper. They have such interesting bark and foliage. I must return soon.

    You have a wonderful collection of "How to draw" lenses. These have been very helpful to me.
    I have never thought of myself as ever being good at drawing and so I haven't done any for years.
    I remember how at peace I felt when I was drawing. This is why I want to have another go at it.

    This lens has been Blessed!

    This is great! I used to think that you had to have natural talent to draw and I don't have any. Then, in Santa Fe, I took a portrait class. Yes, faces!!! And you know what, I did it!

    So maybe I could draw trees too!
  • EditionH Nov 5, 2010 @ 1:49 am | delete

  • EditionH Oct 23, 2010 @ 2:14 am | delete
    That is a very good idea. I used to have a picture of an excellent van Gogh drawing on this lens until I decided not to work with Allposters anymore. There are also a few very good books available solely dedicated to the drawings of van Gogh

  • EditionH Jan 17, 2010 @ 1:48 am | delete
    Hello Liz, I left Senior Squids when I thought I should not create more lenses (due to the Infolinks discussion I), then I joined another great group outside of Squidoo and now there is no time left for others. Do you know that your spirit is very encouraging for others?:). The works of your daughter are a hammer of inspiration..
    All the best Martin

  • EditionH Aug 7, 2009 @ 1:25 am | in reply to LaraineRose | delete
    Hello Laraine, thank you very much for that wonderful poem. To be honest my drawing of trees is most of the time only an excuse for looking at them. Maybe drawing from life or nature is always that kind of excuse.
    My favorite Goethe quote is: "Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking"
  • LaraineRose Aug 6, 2009 @ 12:21 am | delete
    Here's a poem to add to your lens if you'd like to add it.

    Joyce Kilmer. 1886-1918

    Trees

    I THINK that I shall never see
    A poem lovely as a tree.

    A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
    Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

    A tree that looks at God all day,
    And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

    A tree that may in summer wear
    A nest of robins in her hair;

    Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
    Who intimately lives with rain.

    Poems are made by fools like me,
    But only God can make a tree.

    I loved your lens. I have always loved drawing but painting .. not so much. I do charcoal drawing .. not of trees especially but with horses or other animals as the main focus. Still, we have to learn how to draw trees to have a complete picture. Great lens. 5*s
