Quantifying leaves

Today started out with  bit of colour pallet work. After looking at my leaves I created some browns with various mediums. I think that brush o ink looked the nicest, but my first samples were too red.



I then finished off boxing up some leaves into groups of 5, until the amount of flys jumping out at me stressed me out too much, so I threw them away after boxing a few. I has 735 leaves and I wouldn't have managed to box them all by Christmas anyway.

I them had fun with leafy inks and folding, working onto of my orange neon. I then tried it on silk, which was pretty.



Finally I experimented with chalk and tea drawings of leaves. Thinking about quantifying has got me wondering about obsession. I will get back to you on that.
