Paintings foliage and more

I’m on a learning curve with painting foliage; I’ve painted then reworked then painted again till my eyes became blurry. I wish I knew how it was done as I feel like there must be an easier way to paint foliage. I think I could keep reworking but for now I’m stopping and will add it to my folio. This is the second last exercise for this unit 🙂

The next one is from a photo I took last year on a walk up Mt Ainslie.
