Trees, and how to draw them..

Delamotte, Philip H. (Philip Henry), 1821-1889 · 1886 · London, Winsor & Newton · 8 pictures

Trees, and How to Draw Them is an 1886 London drawing manual by the artist Philip Henry Delamotte, published by Winsor & Newton as instruction for students of landscape sketching. The four plates show individual trees and branch studies in fine pen-and-ink line, labelled by species. A designer could take from them the way a tree's silhouette, bark ridges and leaf clusters are built up from loose, varied strokes rather than outlined shapes.
