I worked a little more on the leaves. I did it only using just colored pencils. In the end I used the ivory pencil for burnishing, but I am a little bit hesitant about it. I feel I loose the texture of the pencil stroke – which I like so much – as it washes the colors. Maybe I just have to get used to it. View

What a beautiful page. I especially love the big cap!
Thank you!
Gorgeous, Edith! That enlarged cap is just stunning. And I love the shape of the acorns you found! It’s helpful to see the outline drawing of how the two forms interact with each other. Really lovely work here. A note about pine cones: sometimes if you soak them in water or put them in the refrigerator, they will close back up! 🙂
