🍂 The Cassie Projects’ art prompt books are simple, cozy, and imaginative — seasonal lists that spark creativity without pressure, often mixing nature, still life, memory, and a touch of whimsy. Here’s a Fall/Autumn prompt set in that same style:

🍁 Fall Art Prompts — Inspired by The Cassie Projects

Week 1: Nature & Change

A single fallen leaf — capture its shape and veins.
A tree halfway between green and gold.
Your favorite autumn fruit (apple, pear, or persimmon).
A bird gathering for migration.
A cozy forest scene — pinecones, moss, and mushrooms.

Week 2: Cozy Corners

A mug of something warm (coffee, tea, cider, cocoa).
A stack of books with a soft blanket.
Candlelight glow — experiment with shadows.
Your favorite sweater or scarf (pattern studies encouraged).
A rainy day scene from your window.

Week 3: Autumn Life

A pumpkin patch (zoom in on one pumpkin or sketch the whole field).
The farmer’s market — baskets of apples or gourds.
A harvest table — bread, pies, or jars of preserves.
Boots by the door, ready for a walk.
An autumn still-life with acorns and cinnamon sticks.

Week 4: Whimsy & Memory

A fall festival scene (hayrides, ferris wheel, or candy apples).
A childhood memory of autumn (first day of school, raking leaves, etc.).
Imagine autumn as a character — how would you draw “Lady Autumn” or “Mister October”?
A magical woodland creature preparing for hibernation.
A night sky in October — crisp, starry, and cool.

✨ Tips in The Cassie Projects’ spirit:

Keep prompts flexible — no “rules,” just inspiration.
Use whatever medium feels fun (colored pencils, ink, watercolor, digital).
Don’t worry about perfection — these are moments to notice the season, not just produce polished art.

🍂✨ — let’s build this like a ready-to-use Fall Art Journal Plan, inspired by The Cassie Projects.
It’ll have 30 daily prompts, each with:

Prompt/Theme (the drawing/sketch idea)
Sketch Space (a simple title line you could write in your journal to leave room for drawing)
Reflection Question (to make it more personal and mindful)
