Describe your artistic process (why did you choose this leaf? what did you notice about it? why did you choose the materials that you used to create your art?)

I actually didn’t choose this leaf, the girl I babysat picked it up as we were walking home from school. I asked her if she could help me pick a nice one. She picked this one and I thought it was nice and small to put in my pocket. I noticed how small and green it was and how soft it felt. I chose color pencils because I could easily make the outline and color in the leaf and I think they look very similar!
