Fall leaf with watercolor pencils

Fall is finally here! It's time to celebrate by bringing out all of the fall colors again!

 

Today you'll be needing:

• Goldfaber Aqua Watercolor Pencils
• Pitt Artist Brush Pen in Raw Umber 180
• Watercolor paper
• Paintbrush
• Pencil
• Faber-Castell kneaded eraser

 

Start by using your pencil to sketch a maple leaf. Lightly erase the dark lines until they're barely visible.

Take your watercolor pencils and start coloring in the leaf.

Use a wet paintbrush and go over the colors to blend them all together.

Once dry, use the same colors to go over the edges to make them a bit darker.

Use a brown pencil to draw the veins of the leaf. Go over that with your paintbrush as well.

Now use your Pitt Artist pen to letter your quote!
