Hosta Leaf in Coloured Pencil

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

Here is our Coloured Pencil Leaf Tutorial for May, the lovely Hosta leaf. The Hosta is native to North East Asia and come in a variety of colours and shapes. We will use the embossing tool to get that nice parallel venation pattern that this monocot plant has.

I look forward to seeing your works :)
