EDM Challenge #34 Draw a fall leaf. When I first started these challenges, it was mid-July and the end of summer seemed ages away. I scanned the list to see what I had to look forward to and I saw 34, draw a fall leaf. 34 days from mid-July? There's no way there will be any fall leaves yet. But here we are, the end of August, and fall is definitely in the air, even if the temperature isn't cooperating. This is one of the millions of black locust twigs that will fall on our street over the next month.
Gouache on cold-press paper today. I don't feel a huge difference between cold- and hot-press paper. I can feel that there
is a difference, I just don't see it affecting the way I'm working with it. I'm trying to choose hot-press for the more detailed subjects and cold-press for the simpler ones, but I'm not sure whether it's helping. I wish I'd been able to get a finer line on the top of the twig, but overall, I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out!
