15-Minute Sketch: Autumn Landscapes

With its changing color and light, autumn is a beautiful time to be painting the landscape. This week in 15-minute sketch, we are practicing drawing leaves, placid lakes and vistas erupting with color. Grab your pencil, paper and hit play. 15-minutes of drawing practice never felt so good!

Please note: The video does not include audio. Think of it as a reference photo slideshow: Five reference photos will be on the screen each for 3-minutes each. Ready, set, sketch!
