How a composition of autumn leaves is born

Autumn is the richest time, when nature itself presents us with a lot of the brightest colors. Walking through parks and avenues, you can collect a lot of crimson and lemon-yellow foliage, acorns, chestnuts, cones. And everyone knows perfectly well that after a simple processing of such natural materials a composition of autumn leaves and other gifts is born, which can become a worthy decoration for a themed evening or at home.

Most often, from the leaves collected in the garden, the children gather the appliqué. This makes it possible, at a very young age, to develop creative abilities, taste and ability to combine various handmade materials. An adult person from such raw materials can create a real work of art that can become a separate souvenir, or have the appearance of a picture. Therefore, let us consider in more detail how an autumn composition of leaves is made and what varieties in this genre are present.

Just leaves, and nothing superfluous

The simplest way to make something unique from the gifts of the autumn nature is simply to dry the foliage that you have collected and decorate the table, dishes, and any rooms in the house. Such a composition of autumn leaves will be very harmonious in the kitchen, for example, under the glass surface of the dining table. If your kitchen furniture has other standards, simply arrange the foliage behind the decorative transparent plates or collect it in a bouquet and put it in a vase. With the help of clerical glue, leaflets can also be fixed on tiles, and when the season passes, they will be easily removed and replaced with snowflakes.

We supplement the still life with vegetables and flowers

Even the simplest composition of autumn leaves will be original and unusual looking at the background of other gifts of nature, which are associated with autumn. Among those we will name mainly the pumpkin. If you decorate a house in honor of Halloween, then surrounded by yellow and crimson foliage, this vegetable will look even more impressive. If we are talking about a neutral homemade decoration, then the pumpkin can be turned into a vase in which there will be a foliage and flower arrangement. The main thing is to collect autumn inflorescences, among them there are asters, dahlias, chrysanthemums and other.

Delicate colors of the farewell pore

Now let's look at how a composition made of autumn leaves of extremely light and soft tones is made. We apply foliage of pale yellow, lemon, pinkish hues. Among the collected specimens there should be no red, orange, burgundy flowers. In order that in the creation was as much as possible a note of tenderness and softness, we take wheat spikelets. Then everything depends on your taste and preferences. All the natural material can be collected in an abstract drawing, fixed with glue on the paper and framed. So we will have a wonderful autumn picture. It is important only to ensure that there are no white areas in the work. If we talk about a simpler version, then all the elements can be collected in a bouquet and put in a vase.

We continue to play with flowers

Despite the fact that the color of autumn leaves is predominantly yellow, it is quite possible to find more saturated and bright specimens in our latitudes. Therefore, for the next composition we select foliage of saturated red, dark cherry, burgundy and crimson tones. It is worth noting that there is no place for orange color, since our goal is to create an atypical autumn picture, that is, with a slight hint of a cold tone. It is important to know that mostly all dark leaves are small, so working with them will be even easier. On a large paper sheet from small leaves you can collect an abstract still life or in general outline to convey a certain landscape. In order for this picture to look fuller and more colorful, add color to it. Watercolors can be used to designate objects and things that can not be transmitted by foliage because of the color.

Animals from foliage

The most common composition of dry leaves is the image of any little animal that collects on paper and is fixed with glue. The colors of autumn are so rich that they can convey the fullness of any picture, any image, even without watercolor and gouache. For example, for a butterfly image, you can use completely different leaves, because the wings can be very diverse. For the application of heat birds take red foliage and only the eyes denote by gray dots. An abstract bunny can be made yellow or green, a giraffe, of course, yellow.

The last few words

It is important to know that autumn compositions can be made solely from dry leaves and other natural materials, and can be supplemented with paints, colored paper and so on. In the first case, your work will look more original, non-standard, creative. If you make clarity in a similar picture, it becomes more acceptable for perception, but the aura that tells of the eternal gold of autumn, its fine farewell beauty, is lost.
