I Love Fall

to make it interesting. Then I got out my favorite ink markers, a mix of Faber-Castell Pitt
pens and Picma Micron by Sakura, both are permanent and don’t tend to bleed through
the paper. Then just took my time creating interesting patterns in each shape. These drawings help me to focus on composition and pattern. I limit the colors to keep my focus there. This is an interesting and relaxing exercise that makes some unusual works of art. Latter I will use this idea but use some watercolor paper that has been already painted with fall a background in fall colors. This is a fun fall project, now go collect some leaves and give it a try.
