Curtain of Leaves

For the third project I drew simple line drawings of leaves, mainly tropical/ tender perennial plants, then scanned them into the computer. In Illustrator I then used live trace then copied and pasted, changes the size and orientation and printed on the pre gessoed canvas.

To make my unique mark I painted into the leaves with oil paints in greens and dyed the back of the canvas with purple dyes. I cut out all the leaves and sewed them into the curtain. This is a sneak peak, the full curtain will be revealed in crit!
