Elder tree leaves
I'm continuing today's sketching session of the leaves and branches of an elder tree -Sambucus nigra, this time with the addition of some bold yellow, orange and red.
The coloured layers are created using marker pen layered with water-based paint on paper. I'm using willow charcoal to draw over the top of the colour. I wanted the picture to mainly be in line with minimal use of shading, so that the colour could show through the bold lines of the black charcoal.
I think this design would work nicely developed into a print or as an ink drawing. Maybe something to experiment with later!
You can see my first sketch of the elder tree branches that I drew this morning here.
I love the colors! :)
Thank you @sgnsteems, the sun was so warm this morning I think it warmed up my colour palette! ;D

Beautiful work lady @opheliafu congratulations, thanks for sharing
Nice work!
Elder, the word sometimes, makes me feel little sad. Elder tree leaves are just beautiful in your drawing. I'm trying to remember where I met the trees? Nice @opheliafu from your big fan. :)
Beautiful @opheliafu!
