Sketchbook Tuesday - Autumn

It was such a gorgeous weekend here that we played tourists and joined the "leaf-lookers" for a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The colors were amazing, almost impossible to capture with a camera or sketch. But we tried anyway. I did this sketch from a photo once home.

  9. The weather was gorgeous here too and we did our own leaf looking drives over the weekend. Lovely sketch, the fall colours are stunning and I really like the washes of colour you used in the foreground. Here's hoping the leaves will hang on for a wee while yet!
