Here is a fun method for drawing autumn leaves.

Step 1. Visit San Francisco at night. Take a picture of downtown.

Step 2. Apply the GMIC ellipsionism filter.

Step 3. Copy the result into your painting. Use the transmogrified San Francisco picture as a source for the clone tool. Draw leaves.

I like the third picture that looks like an oil painting
