Sketch With Me - seasons

 This month’s virtual sketch crawl, aka the Sketch With Me group on Facebook, had the theme “seasons” — and my favorite thing to draw in autumn are colorful fallen leaves. Here in central Texas we don’t have the gorgeous reds, oranges, and golds of the maple trees that I loved in Kansas but I found a bit of color from the tall old oaks here in Waller county. In fact there are lots of leaves falling — though more due to heat stress than seasonal change. It’s still in the 90’s here.

Just for fun, I used three tiny brushes that a friend gave me years ago. They are simple sticks with some type of animal hair bound to the ends. Not much control, but they hold a lot of water and the brush tips seem to “dance” along the paper!
