Mindful leaves in my favourite colours

Mindful leaves in my favourite colours - student project

I first got the idea for this class one beautiful afternoon when I saw the sun shine through the leaves of one of my houseplants—these ones!

Sunshine in Scotland isn't guaranteed, so I'm often caught by the unexpected beauty of its golden light shining through everyday objects.

 It was such a beautiful, peaceful moment I wanted to find a way to capture that feeling and recreate the experience, which is what this class aims to do.
