Gouache and Gum Leaves


Today's textile design subject matter was collected in a quick walk around my local park. I had to paint these pretty quickly as the gum leaves dry out and change colour in just a few hours. Luckily there is an ample supply around here (as I eye off my neighbour's lovely flowering gum through my window!).
