You’ll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to develop a realistic rustic wooden window that overlooks an autumn country scene with rolling hills, a rising sun, and vibrant fall foliage. The change of seasons from summer to fall brings along a change in the color of foliage in certain trees in different regions of the world. In this painting you will learn how to create a variety of leaf colors simulating various tree species and stages of change. Using color theory to guide us through mixing various colors, we’ll develop a beaming sun that casts it’s glow on the sky, grass, trees and window frame and allow for good visual balance throughout the design. This painting is created in an impressionistic style using a stippling technique for much of the foliage and an easy blending process for the sky and land. You could use your imagination to customize this image to represent a distinct type of tree, such as oak, pine, poplar, beech, maple or birch. It could be a sunrise, or a sunset with a blue sky or clouds floating by. Paint a curtain on your window, or paint your window blue.

The tourism industry loves these little leaves changing color, as they attract leaf peepers from around the world to come see them in their natural environment.
