Fearless Friday, Fun with Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves can be incredibly beautiful
and often 1 leaf can be a rainbow of colors
Let’s draw and color one today!
First draw a leaf,
you really can’t make a mistake because leaves,
like people,
come in all shapes and sizes
Draw it in pencil first
then go over the drawing with ink and erase the pencil
Next, I broke it into smaller sections
Then added small random shapes and squares
You can download a free printable here if you want to color along
You can use colored pencils or markers
I used markers and started with several shades of yellow,
then browns
Red and orange
Shades of purple, darker red and lighter orange
And a little green to finish!
If you don’t feel like coloring,
you can download and print my colored leaf here
Cut it out and add it to your Fall decor!
Leaves are really fun to create with watercolor too,
you can see the tutorial for the leaves below here
Leaves also make wonderful Fall or Thanksgiving place cards
See the tutorial for the leaf name tags or place cards here
Have some Autumn leaf fun and
Be Fearless!

Good morning! Your playful energy is always a source of delight to me. Your blog is always one of the things I check each morning – it gives me a sense of wonder & discovery which sets the tone for my day. Thank you, Jenna – gonna go make some leaves!
Thank you Charlotte! What a lovely thing to say, I am so happy to bring good vibes to your day!
What a lovely way to enjoy your autumn leaves. This is a fun project and I love how you use the leaves as place cards and gift tags. Your color combinations are lovely. Have a wonderful weekend Jenna. I’m off to H’ville to spend time with family.
Thank you Emily, have a wonderful time with your family, it sounds like we’re going to have a beautiful weather weekend!
This is the season of colours..these leaves are so beautiful.
Thank you Angie!
I’m going to make some of these! Thanks for the printable!
Oh good, have fun!
What a great tutorial Jenna! The leaves are beautiful and thank you for the great ideas!!
Thanks so much Shirley, I am loving all things Fall right now!
Jenna, you are such an incredible teacher of all artistic! So glad I get to visit.
Thank you Dorothy, I’m so glad you visit!
Jenna, thank you for the printable. The girls and I are having a party tonight, so I will share your post on how to draw a leaf. EM will be excited! Thanks for all the inspiration you share. Happy Friday!
Thank you Pam, have fun at your girl party!
What a fun post, Jenna. I haven’t done my annual leaf watercolor(s) yet this year. I suspect by the time I do, the leaves will be brown and harder to find. Although we are having a late color turn — pretty much everything here downstate is still green. I’m looking forward to that glorious color. You make me really want to play!
Oh good Jeanie, have fun!
Oh, how I love autumn leaves and your blog today–fall is my favorite season! I could hardly make myself “leave” as I “leafed” through the art work. Love the idea of the leaves for place cards. I just may sit this afternoon, sip some coffee and draw leaves. So glad you share your talents with us and inspire people! Georgia Gal
I love to inspire Georgia Gal, and loved your witty leaf commentary! Have fun playing with leaves!
So beautiful! I especially love the watercolor leaves.
Thank you!
I love your beautiful fall leaves so much!! 🍁🧡 Happy weekend, Jenna!

These are beautiful, Jenna! I love the colors of autumn! The tags are a wonderful idea.
Thanks so much Sarah!
Love your mosaic fall leaves Jenna! I love the idea of your watercolor leaf place cards again too. ♥
Thank you Mary, I can’t believe it’s time to think about Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Oh, what a wonderful post, Jenna! I love all of the beautiful leaves. I’ll be featuring this post at the TFT party tomorrow. 🙂
Thanks so much Pam!
