Colours of autumn
A carpet of rusting leaves is beginning to cover the ground, what inspiration lies beneath my feet! The palette of autumn holds such beauty, as the summer flowers fade the leaves come alive in glorious colours!
On wet paper a layer of colour was added using watercolours, the colours were allowed to merge and blend into each other. Once the paint was dry I drew on the outline of the leaves in pencil before working over the lines in pen.
Splish splash!
After I had finished the pen drawing I felt the image was missing something, the pen layer felt a little flat and without energy. It was raining outside so I decided to take my new drawing outside to catch a few drops of rain, creating little circular splash patterns across the pen and watercolour.
'Raindrops on Leaves'- 2017
The idea to use rainwater drop was perfect! It gives soul to the leaves.
Glad you enjoyed that idea!
Love how you decided to splash some water on because it was raining. It made the picture stand out even more.
Sometimes it is worth taking the risk with art!
Yep. Sometimes the last strike/line makes your art stand out
Very nice, I’m happy that autumn is here, I want some apple pie!
I have two apple trees- I'm just waiting for them to be ripe enough to harvest.
This is an amazing work 😮
Thank you very much @emnarecode93!
The colours are like the beautiful sunrise this morning. It was quite something!
Sounds wonderful! Up at the crack of dawn then?!
Yas indeed, I am suffering the side effects of my other half having pregnancy insomnia!
Bless, hope she is doing well. Looking forward to hearing about baby boom.
She is doing relatively well. I can't wait to see the little feller!
Your veining lines are so realistic... beautiful and delicate
Thank you- for this one I used a simple fine liner pen rather than my usual drawing ink and dip pen.
I love this! thanks for sharing and the fact that you actually went out into the rain to finish it off tells me you are a true artist!! :)
Thank you- sometimes we have to brave the rain for our art!
yes! :)
Beautiful <3
Oh yes... all the colourful leaves and delicate raindrops splashing on then.
Beautiful fall image!

Hi @opheliafu
I miss your art and I'm so glad to see you're still posting such lovely pieces. :)
Oh yes, I'm still going!
Gorgeous. I am so looking forward to fall.
It should be here by now, or started anyway, but this past week turned back into summer, eighties and humid. Even though I don't look forward to winter, I am definitely looking forward to cooler weather :)
We have had a warmer weekend, but I think that may be the last one for a while!
Loved the combination of colours and ink :)

Just this evening I was creating really similar leaves!:) Will post them a bit later. Seems like it's autumn artistic telepathy:)
I've been working on another piece today, it's that inspirational time of year!
I absolutely agree!:) Usually my dead-season is summer. Too hot to create. But autumn is a completely different thing, all creativity is in the air and golden leaves:)
