Fall leaves


Fall leaves, originally uploaded by cabanagirl.

I have been collecting leaves and stuff the last couple of weeks when I take Sophie out for a walk. It has been so fun to pick up leaves the color of limes, lemons, chocolate and all shades of reds and golds. Today I found a cool tutorial on Alisa Burke's blog that inspired me to sketch directly with pen and change a bit of my watercolor technique as well. Very helpful!!! So while it was snowing outside I sat by the fire and sketched and painted. Who can complain about that?
