​Eucalypt

The frame may decay,
The fibres might fray,
and colours change,
but the sense in strength
of the Eucalypt will remain
Using acrylic paints and ink this sketch of Eucalypt leaves was done to celebrate the recent
National Eucalypt Day. While creating some Botanical Ecoprint papers. I included the
sketch placing the leaves used and other natives and processed my bundles in boiling
water. I was pleased with how the paint, ink and vegetation changed the sketch.
