Below I’ve got some thumbnails (no larger images) of the leaf/petal work that I’ve been up to. I have been taken with delight by this small chisel brush made by crayola.

I was trying out a collection of brushes I recently purchased as a Christmas present to myself. I’ve done these noodly doodles before. Start out with one kind of petal-y shape and then add to it until comfortable. I don’t know how I feel about that striped paneling on some of the petals, but all…
