THE SPIRIT OF LEAVES
Eucalypt Day Workshop
Suggested Materials
- A sprig (small branch) of eucalypts... or any little branch of any leaves...
or
a photograph resource image of gum leaves
- A resource image of a bird (possibly an Australian native bird that lives in the Eucalypt tree).
- Paper
I will be using a watercolour paper that's A3 (approx 30x42cm, 12"x16.5") and 240gsm.
You can use absolutely any paper that you already have.
You will need 2 pages.
Plus an extra page for drawing which can be copy paper.
- Paint
A few basic colours in acrylic paint or water colour paint.
eg. Red, blue, yellow, white & burnt sienna (maybe black... whatever you have will be fine).
- Brushes & toolsÂ
I love a big soft brush or sponge for beginning and then a couple of smaller ones for details. A skewer or stick for etching into the paint. Whatever you have is fine.
- Drawing tools
Pencil, pen, marker or any other pointy drawing tool.
- A piece of chalk
- Water Spray Bottle
