# 56 A Leaf!

I was out walking at the horticulture gardens and came across a bush of these wonderfully coloured leaves, The surroundings were covered in fallen dead leaves, and this one bush  stood out. So I painted this one leaf as a quick sketch, and took a whole lot of photographs for using later! I used the pen again....and feel it has 'finished' the picture for me! I also used a totally non textured paper and felt the painting suited it. Normally I like using textured papers....but this seems to have worked well for this picture!
