This painting was started as a demo, some time ago, for a fluid acrylic workshop.
When I do a demo, I don’t usually think of trying to get a completed painting. I just take an object or scene that I can use as an example in order to teach the class the specific technique or concept. If the painting works out, it’s a bonus!
Since I was doing more than one demo that weekend, this painting was started to simply show how I glaze with fluid acrylics.
The sun was backlighting some sycamore leaves one afternoon so I took a photo. There were more leaves in the photo, but I liked this diagonal line, so I left out several leaves. As usual, I began by glazing on some color.

Are you having longings for fall, Deb, with all this snow covering everything?
Beautiful glazing effects on these, especially the top leaves.
May I ask how glazing with fluid acrylics differs from glazing with watercolors?
Rhonda, nope, just finally got something ready to post!!
Christiane, only real difference I can see is that the FA will not lift when another color is glazed over it.
I really liked this ...
Ooooh! Love the glow in your painting. So nice to see such a colorful painting in the midst of cold and snow1
Thanks Eliza and Gretchen.
Oh wow! I randomly came across your blog. The leaves are so beautiful.
"Strange" - thanks for stopping by.
