Autumn Leaves 1-3 - Three Works in Progress

Today I painted with the Buckhorn Tuesday Painters.

We had Sharon Taylor as our guest instructor, who did two demonstrations for us. One was of an autumn landscape with large maple trees and the images being reflected into water. The other was of leaves painted in the negative.

Autumn Leaves 1

These are the three I started for painting in the negative. I plan on doing one with oak leaves, another with maple leaves and the third one I still have to decide which kind of leaves I will use. Perhaps a different kind of maple leaf or oak leaf.

I still have to decide which blue to use as the base for painting the leaves in the negative.

I know that at the moment it is hard to imagine these backgrounds as being masses of autumn leaves against a trunk with branches, but I will post all three at later dates when more work has been completed on them.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and look at the artwork.
