Grasshopper Part 1


I decided paint another insect and found a photo of this cute grasshopper in the WetCanvas Reference Photos. WetCanvas is a website for artists.There is a great reference library there where artists share photos for other artists to paint without worry about copyright laws.

Next, I decided to move up the rainbow to orange and decided to put the grasshopper onto fallen orange leaves. I filled the composition with maple leaf shapes remembering to point them toward my subject.
