Beautiful job Pat! You did a great job capturing the colors and details. There are some little details – like how the main vein has some twists and turns that you have straightened out and also how the bottom of each side of the leaf curves down where it meets the stem. These are small details, but are very important because they are common to most leaves. Are you going to add the cast shadow? It would add nice dimension.

Great points, Doug. Those little details make such a difference! Awesome color and pattern matching here, Pat!
Try a cast shadow with verithin gray and black before adding any dark sepia. Also a gray watercolor wash for a cast shadow is a good place to start as well.

The bottom of each side of the leaf curves down to meet the stem. Good suggestion thanks
