Last year we had a surprise in our garden, we suddenly had an oak tree. A little one of course and probably the acorn was planted by a jay that did not have the opportunity to eat it before it turned into a plant. We re-planted our tree so it would not be killed during a lawn-mowing activity and it survived all this.
So now the tree is in its second year and at this moment it shows nice autumn colours. Which means I have to paint my little oak tree.
For this painting I made several reference pictures and selected a nice group of leaves showing the autumnal colours of an oak tree. The background is lightly coloured and the leaves have the same colours - and some more.
This is the first time I paint oak leaves so very detailed and I really like the result of my work.
The information about the materials I have used, the size of this watercolour painting and its availability can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
