I loosely based this picture on a photo I took last autumn. Making the path look like it’s covered in fallen leaves was the most challenging part, any tips from anyone on how to achieve this effect more simply?
I really like your painting, the colours you used and the trees are very good!
This is amazing. I can see this work is very different from others. The path looks covered with the leaves. It is amazing piece of art! This is Golden fall ! Awesome!
This is just great Kav. Love the colours and the leafy effect you created. All I can suggest is maybe try the underpainting technique for your leaves as used on "golden rays of sunshine", I couldn't believe the effect I got on my trees and bushes and unbelievably simple. I bet you could adapt that to use as ground cover on a path. Certainly worth a try.
Here I am again. Totally awesome contrast of blue sky with golden leaves. This is what i always loved about fall, but I could not figure it out how to make in wet on wet. I got mud and got discouraged and did not try again. Your painting has inspired me. Thank you for this.
Thank you everyone, for your lovely comments & advice. I sketched out the composition in raw sienna and blue/grey on a sky blue background. I used the very bare minimum of paint, recently I’ve encountered problems trying to layer leaves upon leaves so I used the very least trace of paint from the very start.
