I’ve let summer go, and I’m ready to embrace
fall. Here’s my first sketch of the season’s trees: a Japanese maple that’s just
beginning to turn. As a bonus, the tree stands in front of a lovely brick Tudor
on the next block, so the sketch is also part of my Maple Leaf architecture
series. (Many of the grass and plantings were as brown and yellow as the ones in my parched yard. We really need that rain.)
Paper
note: I am very unhappy with the way water-soluble colored pencils behave on
this Strathmore Bristol vellum. My complaints are piling up for my paper
comparison post. Stay tuned.
Nicely done! I am not embracing fall yet. Our temps here dropped from nearly 90 to around 60 in the span of a day. lol Then we've had damp, drizzly, wet weather like your area for the past few days. I'm hoping the sun's warmth comes back at least for a little while before fall actually starts.
