by Gregory Brown (Author)

Gregory Brown provides profiles of oak, elm, willow, apple, chestnut, and other trees for the artist who wishes to pursue trees as a subject. Brown begins with the basic elements: the branches, leaves, and trunk, then covers various species. He notes, "There are, of course, many kinds of trees, each having a distinct character of its own and much pleasure can be gained by learning to recognize them. You will also get to understand them better, which will be a great help to you when you start your drawing." This is a reprint of this 1943 title.
