5-minute ink and watercolor - Day 20: maple leaf. I found these almost black-looking maple leaves at the park over the weekend and thought they were kind of neat. Really they’re a deep reddish purple on one side and a copper green-brown on the other. Do you ever look closely at the leaves on the ground? Try it on your next walk! Then draw them in your journal. 🍁🍂 🎨 SUPPLIES USED: Strathmore watercolor journal Daniel Smith & M. Graham watercolors Tombow Fudenosuke brush pen Pentel water brush
