This is my water color of leaves. There are four leaves that are all different and shape size and color. The new skills I have learned while making this painting are to always begin with light colors and built up color in layers, to utilize the white of the paper because it is the only white in your paintings, and to use a blue mixed with brown to make a gray or to use dirty paint water to make a background and shadows. The main art elements in my water color are space, color and texture. The leaves in my painting are brightly colored to represent the transition into fall.
