Hi Cathie- leaves are such a challenge and they are different every time. I like that you used a variety of greens, but this reads very dark to me for a lilac leaf. The highlights read more as a different color in the leaf instead of highlights. I would keep practicing a variety of leaves. Really examine them to see the details and how the light hits them. There are great leaves to look at for reference on the ArtFeed and in Wendy’s books and videos.
