Inspired by the online Sktchy class I took on making marks with natural materials, lesson 2, presented by @joanmartin. Instead of adding the bleach-dipped leaves to a drawing/painting, I made the leaf pattern on a sheet of colored paper first, and then drew over it with graphite, brush pen, colored pencil and white marker. I tried to stay loose and restrained so that the lovely leaf pattern wouldn’t be hidden. I altered several other papers this way; hoping to draw/paint on those as well.
