This is just a fast watercolor sketch I did of a pretty red leaf I found while on my daily walk. The leaf on the left is the real one. I enclosed it in some packing tape and then adhered it to my sketch book, placing it next to the one I painted. Soon enough all the fall leaves will be gone ... only a memory, replaced with wind rain and cold weather.

Red Fall Leaf

TERRIFIC, Nancy!!! I love how you got just the right colors!!!! Good job on the shape and shading too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lin. I was in the beginning of finding just the right red for some poinsettia's I'm working on.
ReplyDeleteI love fall and the mementos it brings along.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy. Just noticed that you are a NW island dweller as am I (Canadian version) ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove your autumn leaves! All of them. I would like to mimic your outside the borders painting, I always forget how much I love that effect. Thanks so much for the motivation I've recieved from browsing your site this morning. Doubtful that it'll come to anything but that is no concern of yours, I'll just have to kick my own butt.
