5 Leaf Drawings; Drawing On Leaves

This is a variation on a project I began several years ago.


Leaping Leaves
Approximately 4 x 6 inches (10 x 15 cm)
These are Signature Tree leaves. Lightly scratching into the surface of the green leaf creates a line that is light in value.



Dropping Spider
Approximately 4 x 6 inches (10 x 15 cm)
One of the reasons I like to keep an image of the leaf at this green stage is because of the good contrast between leaf and line. When dry sometimes the contrast between the leaf and line will remain reasonably distinguished; at other times the lines become quite subtle.



Leaves By The Sea
Approximately 3 x 7 inches (8 x 18 cm)
When dry, leaves range from varying shades of golden tea browns to mid dark value coffee and cream colors. Signature tree leaves are reasonably tough when dry although they may become brittle.



Leaf And Feather
Approximately 5 x 6 inches (13 x 15 cm)
These leaves may become part of a swap I began some time ago.



Laughter Sweeping Leaves
Approximately 4 x 6 inches (10 x 15 cm)
Creating something like these leaves and leaving my name and copyright off the leaf would fit my vision of glamour bombs. I’d then like to leave them in a park or beneath a tree or blowing in the wind.
