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!
