Great start Tessa.

It’s a fantastic leaf, full of character Tessa. Almost looks like a very elegant spider.

I rather like it like this Tessa.

Thank you all very much for your lovely comments! I will hopefully do more tomorrow.

Posted by Tessa Gwynne on Thu 23 Oct 19:07:38

Do I or don’t I do more!?

Posted by Tessa Gwynne on Thu 23 Oct 19:52:48

I agree with Marjorie……it’s ghostly form has lots of impact. You could always star another 😉

Lovely imaginative study, Tessa!

Personally I'd leave it as is. A nice portrayal of the leaf litter feeding the roots - a thing we need to remember at this time of year.

Posted by Rod Fletcher on Fri 24 Oct 09:56:23

Thank you folks. I have visitors for a few days so will leave it at least til they go. I’m thinking I need to keep this as is and start another to ‘complete’.

Beautifully delicate

I like this with the skeleton veins and the red bits are so lovely Tessa. Less is more here.

Gorgeous.

Posted by Gudrun Ståhl Sharpley on Sat 25 Oct 17:57:15

I would leave it, but that's just me!

Posted by Gudrun Ståhl Sharpley on Sat 25 Oct 17:57:55

Very effective.

A few very large leaves were brought into art group this morning, and lacking other inspiration, I thought I would have a go at one! Because of the forecast dire weather, I had only taken a selection of Tombow and other drawing pens and pencils so this is what I came up with, on A4 pad. I plan to complete it at home but was quite pleased with it at this stage.
