Leaf portrait painting

The method of painting leaf portraits is as follows:

1. We sandwich the collected leaves and petals in a book and press them flat and dry. After a few days, they can be taken out for painting. .

2. First, think about what kind of picture you want to make, and then prepare a piece of white paper. Then you can start. We are going to make a picture of a boy and a girl holding hands. First, put a leaf on the white paper. On the paper, this leaf is the boy's body.

3. Then use a smaller leaf to make the boy’s head, and then use a long, pointed leaf to make an arm on the boy’s left side.

4. Then use long leaves to put together the boy's legs.

5. Next, start collaging the girl. Place a petal on the right side of the boy to be the girl’s body, and then choose a small leaf to be the girl’s head.

6. Choose a leaf suitable for making a skirt and make a skirt for the girl.

7. Then place one arm, and then place the other arms of the boy and girl, so that the two hands are hand in hand.

Characteristics of leaves

2. Texture: The texture of leaves varies depending on plant species and growing environment. Some leaves are very soft, such as those of poplar and locust trees, while others are harder, such as those of cypress.

3. Color: The leaves come in a variety of colors, ranging from light green to dark green. For example, the leaves of the poplar tree are darker and appear dark green; the leaves of the locust tree appear light green.

4. Function: Leaves are important organs for photosynthesis of plants. They can absorb sunlight, carbon dioxide and release oxygen. In addition, the leaves also have transpiration, which helps the plant regulate its body temperature.

5. Life cycle: The life cycle of leaves is usually related to the season and plant growth stage. In autumn or winter, the leaves of some trees will turn yellow and fall off. This is usually a sign that the plant enters a dormant state to save energy.
