This is my card from Albrecht in Germany. It really shouts of stark cold winter. Albrecht is a true master draughtsman and it is such a privilege to receive something like this. On the reverse he has taken time to show step by step, how he builds up the composition to it's final stage. I have learnt so much by looking at it, such as how the pencil should move and twist to produce the twigs.

Winter can sometimes seem a gloomy time of year for artists, but it's a great time to draw trees. The bare branches have so much character. Thank you so much Albrecht, it's a wonderful final card!

Wow - a sketch and a step by step tutorial!
Very soft and sensitive sketch; gives the feeling of being there.
I'm very envious - what a wonderful card to have for your own.
Great postcard Albrecht, I want my very own tutorial, too. I enjoy seeing the use of the pencil. Albrecht, did you get the ArtGraf?
What a great idea to show how it was made - love how the branch twists away in such a three dimensional way
Yes Pat, I got ArtGraf graphite materials. A friend brought me a small box from Madeira. Very interesting stuff. Nice design...
Cathy, one of the best drawing of a tree I've ever seen is the »The Orchard« of Andrew Wyeth. It shows the half of an apple tree (and Helga..). Wyeth is a wonderful drawer. The best of his drawings are in »Wyeth at Kuerners«. A great book.
Brilliant idea, beautifully executed but it's what we've come to expect from you, Albrecht. Lucky, lucky Alison.
Beautiful and original albrecht!
