Thanks everyone. I was glad to get through this exercise because leaves, to me, are most difficult part of plant. But I actually ended up enjoying it and did a lot of practice to make it
Not so intimidating and give myself confidence in doing them.
OMG, I am having trouble with the leaves, especially getting the back to look like the back, you have excelled! They look so real and the colours are so beautiful. Ive scrapped mine and am starting again!
The light jade colored pencil (don’t have name in front of me) helped me get that ashy green color often on the back side. I then added yellow or more lime green to that color in reference to color on actual leaf. Just added more dark tones around vein to make stand out more.
These are great Patty! I think you have really captured the veins and colors beautifully! REally like the back of the bottom leaf.
Patty, Love the purple leaf! Great job.
There’s such warmth to these leaves — and I love the detail in the top back one.
