Study of Leaves - Painting from life

Hi all, today I am sharing some painting from life studies I completed of nature, one being of a whole tree and the other a close up of one of its leaves. It was difficult to capture detail in the large study especially with the size of brush and the time limit (the sun moves quickly affecting the lights and shadows) therefore I aimed for a quick impression of what I was seeing. However, the other study of the leaf I could spend more time on and achieve a greater accuracy.

These are some of the photos I took of the process...

The large study took about 30-60 minutes and the detailed study of the leaf about 1-2 hours to complete.
Done with acrylics on A3 paper

Thanks for stopping by and for all your support!

Your detailed work on the leaf is very impressive. The veins of the leaf, the light falling on it is very good :)

Thanks!

So beautiful painting!😍😍
