Hey everyone, Darra here! With Thanksgiving approaching tomorrow everyone is in a festive mood and nothing screams Thanksgiving to me more than fall leaves. All of the colors and textures are so beautiful, which is why they are one of my favorite natural things to paint with the Kassa watercolor set.
Collecting References
When painting anything, I like to have a reference to look at so I can try to make the piece look as realistic as I can. This time of year you can go outside and find fallen leaves everywhere. So take a short walk and get some inspiration! Find some beautiful leaves and bring them home with you. If you don’t have colored leaves in your area, you can use faux leaves from any craft store (like I did here) or google pictures of fall leaves and look at the photos while you work!
Trace the Leaves
Having physical leaves comes in handy because you can trace the shapes right onto your paper. Just place the leaf on your page and use any pencil to outline the shape. This makes the final product look more realistic and helps the process run a lot smoother.
Light Watercolor Wash
The first layer is a light watercolor wash! Look at your leaf and see what colors it’s made up of. Now take the lightest color, so light that it just barely darkens your paper, and do a wash over the entire leaf shape.
Building Up the Color
Look at your leaf again and see what areas are just a little darker than that base color. Take the same exact color you used for your base and do a second layer on top, only in those areas. Keep adding more of that color to areas that are slightly darker.
Adding More Colors
Now take a new color, only a shade or two darker than your original color, and paint in areas that are even darker than the last. Look at the veins in your leaf and start adding the lightest ones in. Are there any shadows under the veins? Pay close attention to the areas that are this medium tone.
Adding in Bright Tones
Look at your leaf again, are there any bright yellows or oranges? You can add those in now. This helps the leaf really pop off the page!
Adding in Veins and Impurities
Now it’s time to add in the veins and those little brown speckles or holes in your leaf. Use a dark or medium tone brown and go over those spots. This adds contrast to your leaf and finishes off the realistic effect.
If you’d like you can even cut your leaves out and scatter them around your thanksgiving table! In the video below you can watch my paint a leaf, step by step, to better understand the layers! If you try it out share your creations on Instagram with the hashtag #kassamoment.

Unfortunately, the rate at which fraud is happening in the current millennium is so rampant. In the defense department, we don’t go for as much as two days without a new exciting case. Well, the blame is not entirely on the public. These people have run this dark business for long enough and will make it all look so shiny. It has taken long research, trial and error methods, losses… to finally get the most standing solution. What about the use of high-tech personnel?
Recently, the department came across SACLUX COMPTECH SPECIALST. We ran several types of research on this service-provider company. Collected customer-rating data and finally tried out seeking their service on recovery. It’s finally safe to say, use SACLUX COMPTECH SPECIALST to get back your financial losses on fraudsters.

I was really going too much depressed, he left me with my kids and just ignored me constantly. I have begged him for forgiveness through text messages for him to come back home and the kids crying and miss their dad but he wont reply, I wanted him back desperately. we were in a very good couple and yet he just ignores me and get on with his life just like that, so i was looking for help after reading a post of Dr Kachi on the internet when i saw a lady name SHARRON testified that Dr Kachi cast a Pure love spell to stop divorce. and i also met with other, it was about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 24 hours at the end of her testimony she dropped his email, I contacted Dr Kachi via email and explained my problem to Dr Kachi and he told me what went wrong with my husband and how it happen, that he will restored my marriage back, and to my greatest surprise my Ex husband came back to me, and he apologized for his mistake, and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day our marriage is now stronger than how it was before, Dr Kachi you’re a real spell caster, you can also get your Ex back and live with him happily: Contact Email drkachispellcast@gmail.com his Text Number and Call: +1 (209) 893-8075 his Website: https://drkachispellcaster.wixsite.com/my-site

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
