Scots Pine | Botanical Study

Pinus sylvestris

Scots pine botanical study framed

This detailed study of Scots pine brings together the tree’s distinctive features at different scales, from the form of the mature tree and its long needled branches to cones, flowers, seeds and richly textured bark.

Painted as part of my Native Trees project during the RBGE Diploma in Botanical Illustration, the piece was developed through close observation of Pinus sylvestris, exploring both the character of the whole tree and the smaller botanical details that can easily go unnoticed.

Scots pine is one of Scotland’s native trees and a defining species of the Highland landscape,
