VEINS
All the leaves follow the same process to paint the veins. Use the chisel of the brush to apply a mix of the Light Value while the leaves are wet. The veins are placed over the Dark Value above the center of the leaves. Pull the color from the base of the leaves starting from the stems to the tip. Add shade by using the chisel of the brush and apply the darker value next to the veins. After dry, strengthen values using the dry-brush technique.
