Matthew • 5 • Dublin

I used paint and leaves to make this picture. I painted the leaves rainbow colours and then I pressed them onto my page. Then I used a paintbrush and paint to colour around the leaves to make the sky and the sun and the grass and the stalks on the leaves. I chose rainbow colours for the leaves because when they're pressed on the page they mix together to make colors that look like autumn and I think the leaves look like they're changing from spring to Autumn in the picture. I did three leaves in this shape because it looks like the horse chestnut tree and I like collecting conkers in the Autumn time. The sun is black because it's behind the sky and there's less sun in the Autumn.
