Attachments - art by Catinka Knoth:

Autumn leaves - demo drawings and exercises, adult art class, 10/21/13.

Blind contour drawings - slow and fast 

A) Continuous line drawing fill-in the background with vertical straight-lines.

B) create the background shape with straight vertical lines. 

C) Create the leaf shape with straight vertical lines. 

D) Continuous line drawing of the leaf. Draw the surface of the leaf following its topography with short strokes or long strokes.

Final drawing - free at last - as you wish.  I had originally thought we might be able to combine the topic of leaves and fall landscapes.
