An instruction manual for student artists on how to draw trees. The author suggests that every artist, even the amateur, should "cultivate a love for forest trees." There are a combination of drawings and text that inform the artist of how to draw trees. Some of the drawings are studies of particular ways of drawing limbs, leaves, and branches. There is a focus on style, technique, and observation. The book focuses on three specific kinds of trees - the oak, the ash, and the beech.
