2nd TMC (Twenty Minute Challenge)


I'm learning more in this little 20 minute challenge than I ever dreamed I would!

I wanted a simple subject so I could focus on keeping the colors clean.... and not overworking (the bane of my artistic life). I think I'm at least heading in the right direction.

Have a good weekend!

    This is lovely, Teresa! So clean, and I love the soft cast shadow.

    I think you're learning a lot also! Are your leaves turning already?

    In 20 minutes!? Wow, super work. I love the freshness of this leaf even we know it is the fallen leaf.

    Thank you,
    Irina

    I like so much the number of colors you use here. Plus, the shadows turned out so natural. I start believing in 20min challenges)))

    Wow! It's perfection! I imagine you would have to really focus on the most important things in just 20 minutes, and that's probably the point of the exercise, right?

    This leaf is beautiful. I agree with hmuxo. It looks a lot more than twenty minutes. You really hit the paper just right. Pat yourself on the back. Quite a winner.

    Thank you for following my blog. From what you wrote here about over doing, I have the same tendencies. Hard to know when to stop--but you knew when with this leaf. Congrats.
