20 years ago

This is the results of my 2nd ever casting of a Leaf. I am experimenting making these so that I can learn to do larger leaves there fore making a garden path out of them in the future.

Nice work and so great that you are experimenting with painting at the same time learning the casting part. You coloring is very vibrant!

How wonderful that nathanhurst couldn't tell which one was the cast one!! You have achieved realism!! Way to go!

I had a hard time finding your masterpiece too.

I have switched to satin paint for my leaves so they have the dullness of the real thing. I also use exterior latex so sealing them with a gloss sealer is unneccessary. (I apologize if I am guessing at what paints you used and assumed that you sealed it.)

Your color choices and paint techniques are spot on.

Bravo!!
