Decaying Leaves
Found these decaying leaves on a neighbourhood walk. Quinacridone Gold gave a rich and almost exact (too easy) hue for the leaf on the left and Burnt Sienna did the trick for the middle leaf’s layering and texture. I dropped in Sap Green and dark spots of probably Burnt Umber & Ultramarine mixed. The right leaf is a mix of Viridian and Burnt Sienna.
Tip: Jot down the colours used next to the painting (priceless tip learned at a recent watercolour class).
