Second life for Painted leaves -Feuilles peintes [ENG-FR]

[barbara-orenya]

Today I wanted to try something different when seeing the leaves that stand out from the trees,

it made me want to give them a second life, a decorative , joyous and colorful one in my workshop ^ _ ^

Aujourd'hui j'ai eu envie d'essayer quelque chose de différent en voyant les feuilles qui se détachent des arbres,

cela m'a donné envie de leur redonner une seconde vie décorative, joyeuse et colorée dans mon atelier ^_^

---

So here is how I proceeded

Alors voilà comment j'ai procèdé

---

---

I first painted a layer of white gesso on each leaf
and then I used my Neocolor II pastels

J'ai d'abord peind une couche de gesso blanc sur chaque feuille
puis j'ai utilisé mes pastels Neocolor II

---

---

Pastels being water soluble,

so I spread the color with a wet brush and created pretty gradients by using several shades of the same color

or by diluting more or less the pigments with my wet brush

Les pastels étant hydrosolubles,

j'ai donc étalé la couleur avec un pinceau humide et crée de jolis dégradés en utilisant plusieurs nuances de la même couleur

ou en diluant plus ou moins les pigments avec mon pinceau mouillé

---

---

I also used the Pitt artists pens from Faber-Castell to add some more depth to the colors

J'ai également utilisé les stylos d'artistes Pitt de Faber-Castell pour ajouter plus de profondeur aux couleurs

---

---

I added details with Posca markers of different colors

J'ai ajouté des détails avec des feutres Posca de différentes couleurs

And now I have artistic leaves to remember me the beauty of autumn all year long ;-)

Et maintenant, j'ai des feuilles artistiques pour me rappeler la beauté de l'automne toute l'année ;-)

So magical! I've been painting and printing with leaves today too - autumn colours are so wonderful! :D

Ooh...great minds create alike ! ^_^

Did you make some sun printing today ? I think it is you that had used this technique, in one of the first posts I saw when I arrived on Steemit, I might be wrong, but I think it's you...do you confirm ? =))

[opheliafu]

Yes I make cyanotypes- but not in this weather, it is a little stormy today!

[barbara-orenya]

We have a wonderful weather here ;-) I tend to think the whole world has the same shiny sun...LoL
Yes, it was cyanotypes !!

This is amazing Barbara! Great job! I'm wondering how much will the leaves resist without breaking.
