🌿 Leaves Tropicale 🌿

033 Leaves Tropicale

                              

This was a very simple piece to complete.  I found some Tropical Leaves online and printed them, then cut them out, taped them down temporarily and drew around them.  

I drew in a couple of extra lines and some shapes and then used the following colours to complete this piece

FROM LEFT: Mars Black, Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow Hue, Clementine, Tan and
(FRONT) Burnt Sienna


Of course you can use whatever colours you like but I thought these complimented each other nicely.  In fact, I might do a similar design again but with typical British Tree leaves in Autumn colours for later in the year maybe?? 🤔

🏖 Out to Sea

013 Out to Sea

This project started out life as going to be another song lyric, 'Love is like a grain of Sand' from Fleetwood Mac's 1982 song  'oh Diane'  

This was to be the background and in the foreground, a hand and a mixture of sand and hearts slipping through the fingers as the next line of the song implies.  However this background was far too good in my opinion to cover up with a hand.  So I am keeping it like this.  

The Fleetwood Mac lyric, or another, will return at some point when I maybe have a better vision to accompany it.

Good call I believe.
