Water tumbles down broad rock ledges and settles into a rounded pool. A maple tree leans into the scene from above, while fallen leaves rest near the water below. The contrast between the stepped stone and flowing cascade gives this autumn landscape a lively rhythm.
Start with cool turquoise or blue for the waterfall and keep some water sections very pale. Warm rust and gold in the tree will set off the cooler pool. Changing the rock color slightly from one ledge to the next can reveal the height of the cascade without making the scene feel busy.
