I have been saving these leaves and finally thought, it’s about time I clean off my work space. Very little effort applied. 😦 But at least I did journal.
I had planned to fill both pages with watercolor leaves, and frankly just wasn’t feeling it. So… Mira Byler suggested this in the youtube video I watched tonight. She tried it with ink first, which didn’t take to the leaves well, so I tried watercolor. Both had marginal success. She’s right, the gouache works better. Basically, a lazy artist’s page, but I’m sticking with the idea that I was EXPERIMENTING. Anyway, slapping gouache onto leaves is relaxing and fun.

I miss fall. I hope to capture some tree “skeletons” this week though.

It is indeed my favorite season. It doesn’t help that winters here are usually soggy and/or gloomy.

Thank you! I don’t know what it is about leaves that makes them so nice to paint and draw. 🙂
