light green added to opposite side of leaf (same method as you did the dark)

here's my scruffy brush, do you know this was once a flat brush
when the bristles started to divide themself from lack of proper cleaning
I would we and put soap in it and run it against the palm of my hand to feather the bristles, I'd do this several times until it fanned out...let me tell you I have lots of scruffy brushes lol

Photo 4:

I picked up some bright green, if you've no bright green but have a little yellow at home you could add to your med. green

dry brush again is putting on brush and wipe paint off, wipe until you think there is no paint left on brush and drybrush in center of leaf
