Painting Shiny Leaves
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
I have another little tip video for you on how to paint shiny leaves. This exercise is about learning the techniques and forgetting about the detail of the leaf, just focus on studying the leaves for the areas of light and dark. Along with the reference photograph for the video exercise, I have also added some extra photos of shiny leaves for you to practice.
