### <center>Autumn on my drawing desk</center>
Rich hues of red and orange are the colours of autumn. I've been picking up beautiful leaves all week in various shades that remind me of summer's dying embers. My drawing desk is starting to resemble a woodland floor! 

Today,  I have created this watercolour painting of leaves in rich autumnal colours. I  think Sycamore leaves have a beautiful mixture of colours and of course that wonderful shape that reminds me of a star.

### <center>The process</center>
First I laid out some of my collection of leaves, before mixing my watercolors to match the yellow, orange and red hues of the leaves. 
<center>![sep175.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfTVh3Bw2QcMF1pKq9o85nZ2XdGwFxA2KRJG2maaBkqFx/sep175.jpg)</center>
Once the first layer of watercolour was dry I used watercolour pencils to draw on the shapes of the leaves and the veins of the leaves. I then used more watercolour to build up the colours on the individual leaves, before adding the finer details.

I so love the way you composed with the leaves on this page ! not talking about the colours that are reaching directly my heart of fall girl...LoL..I am scrutating trees in my city and in the woods to catch the first oranges and reds, for now it is a bit too early here but I don't give up, it's just the beginning of this incredible season, I'm quite excited with Autumn !!
Your leaves will help me to wait =D
