We Are Forest sketchbook despatch #1: Silver birch

  
Bodown Woods, "Pierre noir" pencil
We Are Forest is an Artikinesis project. It's about trees. These sketches were all made "in the field", or, more accurately, in the woods...
Greenham Common, fountain pen
Silver birch is native to the UK. It is a fast-growing tree, often populating heathland and occasionally viewed as a "weed" species. It's an opportunistic tree. Its pale bark and distinctive dark banding make it easy to recognise.
