For me, finding the right inspiration to draw is like being on a roller coaster; sometimes you have a thousand ideas in your head and can’t wait to represent them all, and other times you feel like you don’t even have one.
My world of inspiration is often nature and animals. What inspired me for these little watercolor subjects is the feeling that the arrival of autumn brings me. I imagined what autumn could represent for me, its colors, perfumes, inhabitants, and all those little things (objects and not) that remind me of autumn.
I used small twigs with oak leaves and an acorn as a starting point; a small booty of a walk in the woods.
