Wet-on-wet watercolor and crayon techniques help capture the motion of autumn's falling leaves.
1.
Identify fallen, colorful autumn leaves. Use a field guide to select those that are safe to pick up and collect.
2.
Cover your work area with recycled newspaper. Use Crayola® Washable Watercolors and Paint Brushes to paint the underside of a leaf. While it is still wet, press the leaf onto light-colored construction paper, applying even pressure to all parts. Lift the leaf carefully.
3.
Repeat this process with several leaves, using different colors of watercolor. Overlap some of the leaf prints to create the effect of motion.
4.
For added color, try a wet-on-wet watercolor technique. With your brush, drop color onto still-wet portions of your painting. Control the direction of the spreading color by lifting and tipping your painting.
5.
After the leaf prints dry completely, use Crayola Construction Paper Crayons to accentuate portions of the leaves. Use partial outlines near the prints' edges, trying varying colors and pressures.
