The oak leaf painting, part 2! I've put up a longer version on my Facebook Page (link in Bio👆). It takes time to paint a leaf, and layers of paint. You need to paint around the veins- you'll see that mine are kept white for quite a while. A glazing layer will tie it all together. I use two brushes... a small one to apply the paint and a second one (a filbert) to blend and smooth. Leonard Cohen helps 😊💕🎨

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!! 😊🍃🎨😉
