How to paint on a dried leaf with acrylics. I painted on pressed leaves for the first time. I tried following the nature artist Katie Brooks' method of painting on leaves and documented the process, what I struggled with, the results of my leaf paintings and what I'd do differently next time. Her paintings are incredibly detailed and intricate for such a small scale, which I'm sure I can't accomplish, but let's try painting anyway!
