Hello friends!
Today we're going to be painting a little leaf with some water and glowing shadows. This is a great image to practice getting your contrasts right, because, as you can see in my painting, it's not the perfect recreation of the reference image that makes it look photorealistic... It's the right shadows and highlights!
