Watercolor Leaves

Gideon and Ian work on their leaves.

W. chose a monochromatic color scheme with white oil pastel outline.

Ian used nice fall colors.

Gideon's color choices were bold and looked great together!

Eleanor produced a soft and delicate leaf, also monochromatic.

And this is my attempt in blues and greens. This project is an old favorite, and is pretty self explanatory. I recently added the crayon (or oil pastel) outlining, as it helps keep the watercolors from running together for younger or inexperienced painters.
