Feb 21st background for sparkyyy challenge [link] Just over 2 hours. Good challenge this one.Spent most of the time trying to make the leaves at the front look like leaves, I know it looks rough but there’s a lot of work gone into that. 

I’m pleased with it personally, I Like the colour and the painterly look of the leaves, and I think I managed to make them look good which was my main aim of the study. I think watching sickbrush’s video about foliage really helped, where he earsed parts and left gaps around to give them a leafy impression.
