Three Green Leaves

Lesson 2 of my online watercolor class covers “Greens.” I made a chart and used it to paint three leaves. (When I painted the leaves, the left one was not curled over like it is in the photo.) It wasn’t until I uploaded the painting photo to my computer that I noticed that some of the greens aren’t near dark enough.

The cold weather is late in arriving to central Texas but it finally made it. Our Bradford Pear had been blooming, taking advantage of the rains we had, followed by warm weather (still in November).
