Find something inspiring such as leaves pumpkins or trees. Anything the colors that Autumn brings. Take a sharpened pencil and sketch the object in front of you. When sketching leaves you dont have to be an artist or know straight lines because quite often if you add curves or jaged edges to your leaves or trees they will look even more lovely. For the paint I prefer Metallic Acrylic paint because it makes the painting shine. Folk art is a great paint and you can find it in the arts and craft section of Walmart. Mix your own unique colors or simply use the colors provided. I prefer to do bothe and make sure you paint every couple of leaves differently. If you choose to add pumkins mix each shade of orange with a small amount of a different color. Browns reds yellows and golds can make each pumkin a bit of different shade. Paint the lines with a very thin brush. Use black or dark brown paint and let dry. Then begin your masterpiece.Theres no right or wrong way to do it. Add your own creative touches then allow to dry for several hours. Sign and hang so that all can enjoy your beautiful new piece of art.
