About this work

This drawing shows a light beige paper filled with autumn leaves and branches. The leaves are bright—reds, yellows, and greens—arranged in clusters along curved, wavy lines. Tiny dots and dashes outline the branches, and the edges of the paper have a scalloped, uneven cut. The design looks like it could be a pattern for embroidery or fabric. The leaves are stylized but still look natural, with careful attention to color shifts. If you like this kind of detailed leaf work, look up *filigree* next.
