This is beautiful and has a great feel, Lucille. You could try pushing your value range, giving a full range on your value scale or tone bar from light to dark to give more depth or form to your leaf. Love the warm colours.
Thank you. You have identified exactly what I am struggling with. This is the third coleus leaf– I didn’t want you to see the first two! How to get the rich, deep colors, yet keeping the range shading. I will try again. And thanks again.

I’ll have to find one and try it again to accompany you on this Coleus journey.
One challenge is to get a range of value within in the limited space of the veining. My leaf does not look like the real specimen which is stunning.
I tried to upload a photo of the specimen but can’t seem to do it. The back of the leaf is also stunning with deep purple.
Try again to upload the photo if you can – I’d love to see it.
