I almost didn’t make art today (eek!)…..time has been running off with me lately. Made time for a very quick, simple leaf with my Cotman travel palette in my art journal.
I hope you enjoy, and that fall (or spring!) is blooming where you are this fine Tuesday. Peace.
Simple to you maybe Laura, the sketch has come out beautifully.

Thanks, Denis! I promise you, you could do this with just a little practice, if you had the desire to do it. Maple leaves are much more difficult.

Thank you, Jodi! These things almost paint themselves, as long as I am not too impatient and bring too much water. Paper towel always at the ready for dabbing helps too. I’m glad you enjoyed. 💛💛

Thank you Laura 😎
We are just beginning to have a few. Our weather is still a bit warm. Our low temp has only been around 65-70. But, I did see some orangey leaves at the park this morning.🍁
