Grape Leaves - a pencil drawing

 


For the reference picture I used for this drawing we had to walk a bit further from our vacation home in the Moselle Region. We enjoyed the autumn colours of both grape plants and trees this season.

During a walk we saw a lot of grape plants with only yellow leaves, but at one point we saw more colours. Of course I made a picture and used that for this drawing.

The scene is simplified to make the bright colours of the leaves stand out and I chose a black paper to draw on for the same reason.

The drawing is made with water soluble pencils and after the first layer I used water to 'awaken' the colours. After that had dried I applied a second layer of colour for more depth.

The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this drawing and - if you are interested in my original artwork - my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
