Sketching from Georges Head Arts Precinct with the Sydney Sketch Club.

Another cliff view, quite different from the Blue Mountains, but the rain came in so I moved under cover to paint some leaves and an empty coffee cup!

I have always enjoyed painting leaves. Whether large or small, colourful or rather dull, they provide an excellent subject to paint.

Gum Leaves

I love painting leaves. They are always available and so interesting. My sketch books are full of them in many shapes and sizes. Here are some gum leaf sketches

A couple of gum leaves in my Moleskine sketch book.

 Like most objects, shadows help to make them seem real.
