Drawing a cozy little star anise ✨
I love how even the smallest botanical details can bring warmth, texture, and quiet beauty to the page. 🌿🤎

Winter sketchbook moment ❄️🌿
Today’s study: silver fir.
I loved drawing the cone — so delicate, quiet, and full of tiny details.🤍

Drawing Eastern White Pine Cone 🌲
Sharing a few close-up images of the cone — I love getting lost in those tiny scales and delicate textures.🥰

Heavy frosts again in Stirlingshire, with this Dandelion standing resolute against the cold! #wildflowerhour #winterbotany

Line art of a fir cone is done!🤍❄
Next, we’ll draw and shade it with graphite in the Botanical Club — link in bio ✏️

Drawing the texture of an orange slice felt like a small challenge — capturing all that juicy richness using only a graphite pencil. 🍊✏️
Slow work, soft layers, and a cozy winter feeling on the page.

Drawing the texture of cinnamon sticks 🤎
Layer by layer, building those tiny lines and soft shadows. Such a cozy process.

Finished a new spread in my botanical sketchbook!🥳❄️
This winter I wanted to add aromas to my pages — rosemary, star anise, cinnamon, orange… cozy winter spices in drawing form.

More process videos are in the Botanical Club — link in bio ✨

Hi friends ❄️
This winter I compared pine and spruce needles side by side in my sketchbook.
Botanical drawing teaches me to slow down and notice small differences — texture, rhythm, growth. 🌿
Winter botany is full of quiet beauty when you look closer.

Green plants. Grey day. Coastal mass 🌿 #nativeplants #winterbotany

Holly berries with startling colour on what is a frosty, foggy winter's day here in Stirlingshire. Very festive! #winterbotany #Christmas @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Excellent plant @bsbicymru.bsky.social - reminds me that I need to check a site for it, perhaps a winter task (once the snow melts…)! #clubmoss #winterbotany

Some frosty seedheads in Callander today - finding and identifying plants by their remnant inflorescences is an enjoyable #winterbotany activity. Here we have Broad-leaved Dock, Common Knapweed, Common Ragwort and more unusually Smith's Pepperwort

Some lovely plants still visible in the dune slacks at Sandscale Haws, on a raid south across the border to the Lakes, see alt text for details 😊 #winterbotany #seedpodseason

With winter winding down (I hope!), it's time to start planning for the coming field season. And that includes the Canadian Botanical Association conference: June 2-5 in Ottawa, Ontario. Still a few more weeks to get the early-bird discount!
