Picking up leaves on my walk by the Loire resulted in autumn sketches number II during our art afternoon earlier today. This is what I did, while Marie-Christine continued working on her cheetah.
All my sketches were done in pencil, pen and watercolor sketchbook, 19x20cm
…yellows in autumn…
…reds in autumn…
With her permission, I photographed Marie-Christine’s painting this afternoon, to show the stage where it is at now…far from finished of course. It is an old painting that she is reworking: keeping the cheetah, and started changing the background, wanting to work towards a warm African feel with heavy skies. Looks good to me already so far!

I always enjoy your lovely light touch sketches – you capture the colours and shapes very well.
En tous les cas..nous ne manquons pas du tout d’inspiration içi~
I love visiting..
I aspire to…..maybe one day do lovely works of art:)
Sure signs of autumn, Ronell, and so beautifully done on these last two posts. I love the many colors on the leaves
and the tangles…

beautiful colors of your leaves Ronell! Your painting always makes me smile.
Tell Marie-Christine I think her cheeta painting is nice!
Love the arrangement of the leaves. Wonderful shapes.
Well, you already know how much I love your greens ~ and now your reds!
I have really enjoyed looking at your last two posts.
Is Marie-Christine your daughter? Great job on the cheetah!

I love the rich color in your leaves!
Autumn is my favourite part of the year. Your sketches show how beautiful the colours are. Real piece of art.
Beautiful leaf sketches…the ink and the wash are perfect for them. Your friend’s cheetah is looking good.
Oh, I love these leaves ! So spontaneous !
I love your work. It has inspired me to finally enroll in a journal sketching/watercolour course. In the past have done a little bit of drawing but am totally new to painting. I am having so much fun that I wanted to thank you for sharing.
