Falling Leaves

 

Because it's Friday, I'm joining Nicole for Friday Face-Off and Gillena for Art For Fun Friday.  I'm also at Art Journal Journey where I'm joining Sharon from That Girl Fritchey. Sharon's theme is Hello Autumn. This may be my final AJJ entry for September. 

It's obvious I named this Falling Leaves.  Details are below.

 

 

I've often said I can't draw.  However, I attempted to draw and color falling leaves.  I was inspired by the leaves falling in my back yard as I watered my herbs.  

 

I was impressed by the different colors of the leaves and I tried to reproduce those on my 5 X 8 in (12.7 X 20.32 cm) 110 lb white cardstock using watercolor pencils.  I used nine watercolor pencils to color the leaves and two to color the stems.  When all the leaves were dry, I added the computer generated text.

 

Bleubeard and I hope to see you and your interpretation of Hello Autumn inspired art at Art Journal Journey.  There's still ample time to join in.  I'm also joining

 

   

 

And because there were no faces in those leaves,

 

     

here's a photo of the face of our blog.
