Making sense of thousands of leaves...one by one. Drawing helps me break down a complicated subject into easier steps. This really helps when it comes time to paint later. Understanding how the leaves overlap and the value structure is key! #pleinairpril
(if you recognize this tree, it's because I painted it last April too!)

The PleinAirpril challenge is to paint outside every day during April, to build a healthy practice routine, to learn, to explore where you live, etc. It's my favorite art challenge of the year.
