Fall

Autumn leaves, acorns, squirrels, apples and pumpkins fill these pages. Pick a single acorn or a squirrel holding one for larger spaces, or explore the leaf veins and basket weave in harvest scenes. After printing, try yellow, orange and red on the leaves and compare their different shapes.

Choose a leaf study or an autumn scene

A single leaf makes color changes easier to explore. Branches and pumpkin scenes add more objects and smaller spaces.

Large lobes and branching veins give you room to try light layers of color.

Blend two colors on one maple leaf

Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.

Digital coloring example

Maple leaf colored yellow in the center and orange near its pointed edges, with black veins visible.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Yellow leaf
  • 2. Orange edges
  • 3. Brown stem
  1. Lay a light yellow layer across the maple leaf, keeping the black veins visible.
  2. Blend orange gently near the pointed edges, fading it into the yellow rather than making a hard border.
  3. Color the stem light brown. Leave the surrounding paper white and compare the yellow middle with the warmer edges.

Look for a gentle change from yellow to orange, not a hard stripe. These are suggested colors, not a plant-identification test.
