Mighty oaks
From little acorns grow...
A couple of days ago I shared with you my post Oak Leaves in which I showed the development of my ideas for a project based on oak leaves. After a bit more work I created a fourth design and I have finally finished it!
The process
For this piece I drew out my design in yellow watercolour pencil before applying a light border of colour around the edges using watercolours. I then used masking fluid to mask off the veins of the oak leaves before applying more layers of watercolour.
The final stage was to add black lettering saying 'Mighty oaks from little acorns grow'.
'Mighty oaks from little acorns grow'.
All framed up and ready to go to its new home!
This is awesome job and thanks for sharing your work details with us. You are indeed a talented lady.
I outlined the ingenuity of steemit and the issue we have with regards to scammers-see my latest post for details. I wish you a blessed week.
@charles1 , i am agree with you
welcome
Thank you @charles1
you are welcome, always.
awesome
Hehe, you answered in another post that you are still posting and here i am :-)
Nice things you do.
When i was scrolling, i was thinking to tell you to print some of them and frame them... but i reached the end and saw it.
Good.
I do print some of photographs that i took and gave them to the people who asked. They could be a nice memory at some point and remembering you the moments you've been through.
Even 1 photo per year and it is something to keep our work or life alive.
Cheers again :-)
Ah good- you found me lol!

Ah that's lovely although it makes my heart heavy with the whole autumnal look. Summer is ebbing away!
Don't be sad Autumn is a beautiful season to look forward too!
It is, but I love summer so much!!
@opheliafu - Lovely shades of the oak leaves. The subtle variation of shades reflects real leaves and almost makes me reach out and try to pick up a leaf. I like the caption as well. After framing, the whole effect looks so clean and striking. Well done! Cheers . Upvoted.
Regards,
