Learn to Draw Trees with awardwinning artist, scientist, and expert educator John Muir Laws (aka “Jack”), author of The Laws Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling, among other books. https://johnmuirlaws.com/product/the...

This class was originally recorded on Oct 29, 2023, which would have been Bob Ross' 81st birthday. We offered this class as a celebration of Bob Ross and the gift of art education he brought to the world.

While Jack taught this class at no cost to you, we encourage you to consider a donation of $25 to support the Micro Grant Program at the Wild Wonder Foundation, a nonprofit cofounded by John Muir Laws that is dedicated to encouraging nature connection and conservation through attention, curiosity, art, science, and community.
