Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year. I love the feeling of getting out on a crisp, cool day and admiring the beautiful foliage. The colors of the autumn leaves against the azure blue sky is simply magnificent to see. Our self-contained class attempted to capture some of that beauty on paper. I think they did a beautiful job!
On day one we first painted our grass and then we rolled our trees. I hot glued foam strips to paper towel rolls and then we added brown paint to the foam and carefully rolled the tree trunks, beginning at the horizon line.
On the second day we dipped cotton swabs into orange, yellow and red paint and added our leaves, both on the tree and on the ground. You could discuss warm and cool colors before starting the painting of the leaves. I hope you enjoy the results!
