I think this is looking lovely! If you feel overwhelmed, then you may want to try Botanical Basics, but I think you are well on your way and you should give Lesson 2 a try. 🙂 If you decide you want to switch, just let me know. This branch has a nice color and shimmery highlight, as well as a good shadow side. Even your cast shadow is lovely and subtle. I think you’re doing great.
Oh, thank you, Vern, for your comments. I was not sure if I am headed in the right direction with technique. To achieve the effect, I had to create many, many layers. At your recommendation, I will give the next part a try and see how it goes. Thank you so much for your help. (I loved this first lesson so I am eager to try the next one!)
