Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaf Bowl
I was inspired by the pretty autumn leaves that are beginning to fall from the trees in my back garden.
I wanted to do something that would represent the texture and the shape of the leaves so I used kitchen towels over a mixing bowl from my kitchen.
I wasn't sure how well it would turn out but it's actually quite strong. I used 6 sheets of kitchen towel and applied pva glue and watered down acrylic paint between each layer.
The colours are brighter than autumn colours but I wanted something cheerful to lift up my colour scheme over the coming winter.
