This is my leaf watercolor painting. This was painted with a brush, using water color on white paper. This painting is of fall leaves, which are so vibrant and colorful. Before this painting I was not comfortable with using water colors or painting in general, but now after I have completed this painting I feel much more comfortable. I learned how to use lighter colors such as yellow as the base layer, then add the darker colors on top to get the best visual. This technique will help me greatly as I go forward with watercolors. The main art elements that I used in this painting were color and value. Color was used to create the layers of the image, lighter leaves in the front and darker in the back. Value is used to show where one leaf ends and another begins, along with the contour of the leaves and the background. A Design element that was used is space. The leaves were painted much larger than they actually were, allowing the whole space of the painting to be filled. The feeling that I fell this painting gives off is one of peace and quite. It makes me imagine walking down a quite trail with leaves falling down.
