Paying attention.

Fine liner and watercolor on S&B Beta Series 3.5 in x 5.5 in

 If you pay attention to the details of a tree and/or a bush, and draw the branches, the leaves grouping together, the lonely leaves, then the plant comes out with its own personality. I normally do random greens, just big shapes placed one in front of the other, but this was an example of REALLY watching. What a difference.
