Veins Complete

Mix Sap Green and Burnt Sienna Roughly 70/30 the same as the first mix you made for the five washes, again very dilute with water. Wash over the whole of the leaf ( there is no need to wet the whole of the leaf again as all you are doing is colouring the veins so they stop being a stark white and become a soft light green.) Notice how your leaf is starting to look more and more realistic. I gave the leaf three coats of the dilute green to arrive at this colour.
