Falling Leaves

Here's a seasonal twist on a traditional wax-resist project.

You will need:
white paper
oil pastels (fall leaf colors)
watercolors
paintbrushes
water

• Begin by drawing leaves with oil pastels in any formation on the paper- floating, falling, blowing, raked in a pile, etc.
• Paint over the leaves with watercolors with any color pattern or style desired.

Falling Leaves

Little leaves fall softly down

Red and yellow, orange and brown

Whirling, twirling round and round

Falling softly to the ground

Little leaves fall softly down

To make a carpet on the ground.

Then, swish, the wind comes whistling by

And sends them dancing to the sky.
