49 The Autumn Equinox – Pastel Nagomi Art

The Autumn Equinox captures the quiet harmony between light and shadow, warmth and coolness. In this Pastel Nagomi Art lesson, golden hues embrace the soft silhouettes of falling leaves and slender trees, portraying the delicate balance of nature as the seasons shift.

You will learn how to express sunlight filtering through leaves using layering and blending, and how to create depth with gentle transitions of colour. The process is a calm exploration of balance — just like autumn itself.

You will learn:
• How to create sunlight and shadow interplay using pastel gradients
• How to layer warm and cool tones for depth and harmony
• How to portray the essence of seasonal change through minimal composition
