I have wanted to paint a picture like this for a while but all of my attempts to do so realist style were pretty disasterous. I mused on what to use to bring the picture alive and in the end plumped for tissue paper and kitchen roll stuck to the canvas and then painted over. The leaves were created by painting yellow ochre and burnt umber mixed with sand textured gel. While still wet I started dabbing on yellow deep, scarlet and raw umber which left paint on the canvas but sometimes removed paint too. I highlighted and lowlighted with a gold paint, bronze and burnt umber light.
