How to Paint an Entire Fall Landscape in One Single Leaf
如何通過畫一片樹葉展現(xiàn)出秋天的景致
My criteria for the Perfect Fall Leaf is that it contain every color of the season in one feuille. Obviously, as soon as I laid eyes on this beauty I knew I’d found perfection for this year’s Annual Fall Leaf Painting Tutorial (2013).
在我的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中，完美的秋葉應(yīng)該是在一片落葉上包含這個(gè)季節(jié)的所有色彩。很顯然，當(dāng)我把目光投向這片美麗的樹葉時(shí)，我知道我找到了，為今年的繪畫教程而準(zhǔn)備的完美秋葉（2013年）。
If in previous years you've followed my Annual Fall Leaf Painting Tutorial, you already know that after I've laid my leaf on 90-pound Canson watercolor paper and traced its entire outer edge, I divide the leaf into its “cells”. The secret to painting a Fall leaf is to paint it cell-by-cell.
如果你看過我往年的“年度秋葉繪畫教程”，你就會(huì)知道，我已經(jīng)提前在90磅康頌水彩紙上，用鉛筆描繪了葉子的輪廓，并分好“細(xì)胞”區(qū)塊。畫好秋葉的秘密就在于，一塊一塊地畫。
I am using size 0 and 00 brushes and my cute little set of Windsor Newton watercolors here — the colors are very bright and rich. Let the watercolor dry throughly before you start a new cell.
我使用的0號(hào)和00號(hào)水彩筆刷，及我可愛的小號(hào)盒裝溫莎牛頓水彩 - 顏色是非常靚麗飽滿。等前一區(qū)塊的水彩徹底干了之后，再畫下一塊區(qū)域。
This way, you can let the paint colors bleed into each other with in each cell (see below, I’m letting my yellow paint bleed into the green)…
這樣，可以讓顏料在每個(gè)區(qū)域內(nèi)互相暈染（見下文，我讓黃色暈入綠色）...
…and still keep all the other cells clean and bright and not muddied-up as you add to the leaf (cell by cell):
...，同時(shí)保持所有其他區(qū)域整潔明亮，在你不斷添加顏色時(shí)不弄臟其他區(qū)域：
I'll ?just let you watch for the next few frames as I paint in details, cell by cell:
我只讓你看在接下來的我畫的幾步細(xì)節(jié)，一塊一塊地畫：
I have to say that I find Fall Leaf Painting to be very relaxing, especially when I add the tiniest details.
不得不說，我覺得葉秋繪畫過程令人非常放松，尤其是在我添加最微小的細(xì)節(jié)時(shí)。
The great thing about Fall Leaf Painting…
畫秋葉最棒的……
…is that in the end, you have a leaf that will never fade or crumble or get disgusting looking (tea bag included for scale):
......是，到最后，你將擁有一片永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)褪色，或弄碎，或變爛的葉子（與茶包對(duì)比）：
This is what happens to your Fall Leaf the day after you finish painting it, poor thing.
這是在你畫完秋葉的那天之后，可憐的樹葉就會(huì)枯萎。
This is especially true with oak leaves! Hooboy, nothing dies faster and uglier than an oak leaf. That’s why I was overjoyed when I found an unusually ripe oak leaf this year and was able to paint it before the poor thing went the way of all fallen leaves.
橡樹葉尤其如此！嗚嗚~~~沒有什么比橡樹葉枯萎得更快，更丑陋了。這就是為什么，今年當(dāng)我發(fā)現(xiàn)一片不同尋常的橡樹落葉，并能夠在可憐的東西隨所有樹葉凋零前，把它畫下來時(shí)，我高興極了。

蘇珊姐說
本期推薦Vivian的一個(gè)高階水彩教程，過程就沒有之前Lucy的教程那么詳細(xì)了，適合已經(jīng)有一定水彩技法基礎(chǔ)的同學(xué)。總的來說Vivian的技法已經(jīng)爐火純青，為想畫寫實(shí)樹葉的同學(xué)指明了方向。菜鳥蘇珊姐覺得，在熟悉水彩的暈染特性后，就可以嘗試這樣的畫法了，細(xì)致和耐心是基本的要求，老師都只用最小的筆刷哦。
哪位朋友畫了的話，記得跟蘇珊姐交流一下。
