Lei Rainbow Starting the Leaves

by Marcia Minnichhofer on 02/03/17

I have done the first layers of the buds and leaves. Also started to define two of the leaves. The flowers are large so the leaves look gigantic. This time, I am going to do the turned up sides of the petals after I get what is around them painted. I was getting edges that were hard lines when I put the finished the petals first and then adding the surrounding color. With these larger leaves, I am laying down the color and then lifting the veins and midrib out rather than painting the leaf, section by section. The leaves have 3 layers of glaze at this point. They will probably go darker after I get all the leaves in.
