With medium tone green I gave 2 coatsto the holly leaves, seemed to cover well

I'm used to shaded and highlighting so am trying to find a way that non painters in this group can get dimension..

make a small pool of your base green and add just a titch of black (or dk green if you have it) and
give a light coat of your base green, just enough to wet the surface with the paint then pick up the dark paint you just made and paint around the edges while pulling it in the base green just to give it a bit of shading to one side of your leaf




YOU can omit this if you think it would be too difficult

I'm waiting for paint to dry before I can give you the next step

any questions

as per Barb's request I'm going to post above in the 1st post where you signed up and add what paints we need..as I run across another I'll add it so keep an eye out

am trying to do it with minimal paint purchase

also

the 2 I sent out already had the sealer on them, saved my putting a bottle of sealer in the package...will do the same for all of you if ok or if you prefer to paint on sealer I'll include it...just let me know
