Autumn Art No.5 – Tree in a leaf

Here’s the final piece of art in this series of pictures that I did whilst on holiday. It was fun to do.

The method was initially the same as my previous leaf picture (Autumn Art No. 3). When I had shown that one in its early stages on an artist’s Facebook page someone suggested I paint something else inside the leaf outline. So I did. A used tea bag provided the means of dabbing on the yellow paint.

The tree was done using a pencil and then a black pen. I got carried away with doing the branches as I realised too late that the bottom of the tree was too wide.

I added the autumn leaves on the ground and was going to do one or two still on the tree. But as you can see, I didn’t.
