Study of leaves.

Quick sketches with a paint brush. Minimal colours used, these sketches are mostly a warm up to get the creative juices flowing. Sometimes the end result is terrible, sometimes lovely surprises can happen. Really it is about splashing that first colour onto a blank page.

More leaves, this time looking at fern leaf shapes (see below). I like this colour combination of Australian gold and prussian blue. The greens it creates are wonderful.
