Fall Leaf In Watercolor Shades – Quote Painting

It’s September and Fall is on it’s way. Leaves are falling and new beginning is calling. To welcoming Fall season, I’ve painted a maple leaf in watercolor fall shades. When I think of fall, I think of maple leaf. Maple leaf is so pretty with its distinguish shape and its changing colors.

I painted the maple leaf in fall colors. I also added a quote “Fall; leaves are falling and new beginning is calling”. It’s a great fall quote painting for your inspiration. Many creations can be creatively created from this piece of fall leaf quote painting.

I started with a thin pencil sketch of a maple leaf. I prepared six colors that representing fall. The six colors are; in painted order :

  1. Burnt Sienna watercolor
  2. Crimson watercolor
  3. Vermilion watercolor
  4. Yellow Ochre watercolor
  5. Lemon Yelow watercolor
  6. Gold poster color

I used gold poster color because I don’t have gold watercolor. So, it’s not a certain thing to follow. I love gold leaf look which makes Fall perform in more glamorous way. Like I have mentioned before, this fall leaf quote painting in watercolor shades can be an inspiration to create other creative form to welcome Fall season.
