Debbie-Mauve-fall-leaves-bl.jpg

I used two photo's one of leaves and one of daughter Debbie for this lesson. I used a clone copy and painted leaves using a watercolor brush. Cut out Debbie from her photo as a selection, enlarged and used mask to add to leaf painting.
Lesson is on 9 principles of Design. This one has 1. Balance near thirds 2. Contrast of colors
3. Emphasis - Debbie's picture by size and color 4. Movement colored leaves 5. Porportion Tried to balance leaves with face by use of color 6. Pattern repetition of leaf shape 7 Rhythm elements of leaf shape and color 8 Variety - face 9. Unity - not bad but I always want to do more.
