WCW278, Perfect Fall Day

Photo Details

Poster: Benzi

Suz (pixordia) is hosting the WCW278 challenge this week and has a wonderful fall tutorial for us to use.
The artist is Kristin Van Leuven and the name of the tutorial is Painting Watercolor Fall Leaves Using My Favorite Watercolor Trick.

The thing I forgot to do was shade my leaves but I guess that is o.k.

Hope you will get out your watercolors and brushes and paint with us this week. The challenge can be found here: WCW278, September 24th. Painting Fall Leaves using my favorite watercolor trick by pixordia at Splitcoaststampers

That block background beautifully breaks up the stark white and creates the perfect setting to paint those gorgeously vibrant and fiery fall leaves onto. I love how rich you got your colours.
