Fearless Friday, Autumn Leaves

Are you in full Fall mode yet?

I spotted real pumpkins at the market the other day,

and leaves are starting to cover my driveway…

I love to paint autumn leaves with watercolor

like Leaves of Change above

Let’s see what we can create with markers and colored pencils

The photo collage below is what I used for my reference photos

First, a pencil sketch

Next markers were used to outline and color

At this point I decided I wanted to use a fine black liner

to cover the pencil lines and then erase the pencil

Next I switched to colored pencils and began coloring the leaves,

varying the colors and shades

I added some squiggly lines on the sides and bottom

to form a journal page

Then I added a lovely Fall quote

Have some Fall fun and

Be Fearless!

Here are some more things to get you in a full swing Fall mood!
