Memories



Fall always brings a lot of pleasant memories to my mind. When Illustration Friday used "Memories" as their prompt I decided to do a fallen leaf. Fall is like metaphor for my station in life. The weather is less heated, maybe a little slower, some things falling (like certain body parts) and a bit drier. I really love fall.

This piece was inked first and then painted with gouache. Then the paint was washed off to leave the stained paper. Really easy and fast technique.

It's very pretty. I like the look of the technique. I'll have to give it a go. Thanks for explaining how to do it.
