Autumn Leaves in the Forest

"Autumn Leaves in the Forest" works well as a craft template for cards, window decorations, or table settings. To frame the finished piece, mount it on colored cardstock, which instantly gives the work a more polished look.

For the autumn leaves in the forest, work with warm colors: orange, red, yellow, and brown for the falling leaves. You can color the larger leaves in the foreground with bright, bold colors, while distant leaves should look lighter and more faded. The forest floor benefits from earth tones – brown, dark brown, and ochre. The tree trunks get grayish-brown or dark brown, and the still-green bushes in the background can be underlined with dark green. Try color gradients: a single leaf can transition from orange to red. This creates a realistic effect.
