Leaves

A real skeleton leaf found in the garden

Skeleton Leaf Web

Another one from my tall sketchbook.

I started this page by applying skeleton leaves that I found in the garden. I drew on the pen lines and coloured in with aquamarkers and water.

I think it could make a nice fabric if I can work out how to make it into a pleasing repeat pattern.

Various WIP

WIP - an acrylic painted abstract, collaged

WIP - a collage. I painted the middle of the paper with gesso, then stuck on some paper from a book cut in the shape of leaves. I then painted it green. This was a mistake as I should have painted it before sticking as it puckered. But it doesn't look bad now that it is stitched.

WIP - page in a sketchbook. Drawn lines with real skeleton leaves stuck to it. I can't make my mind up whether to leave this as is or add more to it.
