Friday, February 10, 2012. CHAPTER TWELVE – FOLIAGE. With thanks to The Pastel Journal. Where this was originally published.). At Rest, 12" x 9". The drape of leaves, like the folds of fabric covering a model, is dependent on the form beneath. Unlike the hard skeleton, foliage is gentle and flowing, wrapped over and around the structure of a tree.

Mostly Miniatures in Opaque Watercolor (Gouache). Paint, Paper, Brushes. Step by Step Demo. Wednesday, September 4, 2013.
