From little acorns grow...
A couple of days ago I shared with you my post Oak Leaves in which I showed the development of my ideas for a project based on oak leaves. After a bit more work I created a fourth design and I have finally finished it!
The process
For this piece I drew out my design in yellow watercolour pencil before applying a light border of colour around the edges using watercolours. I then used masking fluid to mask off the veins of the oak leaves before applying more layers of watercolour.
The final stage was to add black lettering saying 'Mighty oaks from little acorns grow'.
'Mighty oaks from little acorns grow'.
All framed up and ready to go to its new home!
This is awesome job and thanks for sharing your work details with us. You are indeed a talented lady.
I outlined the ingenuity of steemit and the issue we have with regards to scammers-see my latest post for details. I wish you a blessed week.

Hehe, you answered in another post that you are still posting and here i am :-)
Nice things you do.
When i was scrolling, i was thinking to tell you to print some of them and frame them... but i reached the end and saw it.
Good.
I do print some of photographs that i took and gave them to the people who asked. They could be a nice memory at some point and remembering you the moments you've been through.
Even 1 photo per year and it is something to keep our work or life alive.
Cheers again :-)

@opheliafu - Lovely shades of the oak leaves. The subtle variation of shades reflects real leaves and almost makes me reach out and try to pick up a leaf. I like the caption as well. After framing, the whole effect looks so clean and striking. Well done! Cheers . Upvoted.

It seems autumn is on everyone's mind ... we've had a change of weather here and I can sense that crispness in the air. The clouds are somber and have purple bottoms - a sure sign of fall.
Love the colour palette, especially the green hues in some leaves, the shading and the composition. I was impressed with lettering. Your own style of calligraphy?

Calligraphy - I drew it freehand using frenchscript as inspiration.

I am a little stuck with the caterpillar, i don't think it will make a good picture as a realistic drawing- i may need to go a bit abstract.

I started the process of drawing it at night, so the photographs were a bit rubbish! I kept the colours natural but simplified the inner lines, instead of drawing with ink this time i put those lines down with masking fluid, drawing them in with a stick rather than a brush.
