Drawing Subject: A Leaf

I recommend using a leaf as a simple subject to draw. Pick any leaf from a tree, flower, or a bush. Study its structure & color. Start by sketching the outline of the leaf. Next draw the veins. Add the leaf stem. Finally, add color. Try selecting leaves during the fall season. These leaves have a variation of color that will allow you to try blending colors. Watercolors & chalk are excellent for blending.
