Photo Hunt: Theme Original

This week’s Photo Hunt Theme is original and I have decided to share some of my original art work which I really like. This original art work has an Autumnal feel to it.

Original Artwork: Autumnal Leaves in chalk pastel.Original Artwork: Autumnal Leaves in oil pastel.

If you would like to create Autumnal art like this, then go out and collect a variety of different coloured leaves. Lay the leaves out with different colours overlapping each other and re-arrange until you are happy with the combination. Then place a viewfinder (piece of paper with a large square cut out of the centre) over the top and tape into position. Draw or paint the arrangement of leaves that can be seen within the viewfinder.

I really like this artwork and I am particularly proud of the Autumnal Leaves in chalk pastel. Which of the two original artwork do you prefer?

  19. I like both of your original art works, but each for a different reason. Wouldn’t it be boring world if they were all the same?

    Come and see my originals.

  28. I had have to tell you that this is really neat! So creative! I think I will try it as a fun project with all my grown kids when they are home at Christmas! The grandkids can have a go also!
    Thanks for showing them (I like the first one best for composition, and the second one best for color).

  29. Those are wonderful. I love how when you click on them they become the focus, is that a plug in? I should add that to my blog.
