Autumn Leaf 2019

Hello!  Welcome to the Autumn Leaf 2019 Tutorial!

This was drawn on Arches Hot Pressed Watercolor Paper using Prismacolor, Faber Castell Polychromos, Caran d’Ache Luminance, and Derwent Lightfast and Drawing Pencils.  (You don’t need to have all of these brands in order to follow along with this tutorial.  Use the green pencils you have on hand.) The pencil was blended with Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits.

I really love this drawing for a beginner!  It is a difficult one to mess up with all of the different colors and textures.  This tutorial will give you practice with indenting the veins and splotching different colors to create depth and texture.

This tutorial includes a reference image, a line drawing/outline, a supplies list, a pencil list, and a real-time, video-based lesson.

Have fun!
