Leaf by Shevaun Doherty. Feuille par Shevaun Doherty

Sunday morning with an oak leaf and a bit of Enya. The trick to painting leaves is to get the details right at the very beginning. I paint around each vein first with a tiny brush, then I focus on the shapes between the veins, building up the form one section at a time. It's time consuming but important to define the veins. A filbert smooths the washes out. Phase 2 (aka the fun part) is coming up. I need to find a better camera position!! 😊🍃🎨😉
