CHERRY LAUREL
1 Mix yellow and brown to make light brown; then use your liner brush to create a simple stem with offshoots.
2 Use your #8 round brush to create tapered leaves. Start with the very tip of the brush and move toward the stems, applying more pressure as you go. Wiggle the brush around to give each leaf different curves.
3 While the greens in the leaves are still wet, score the centers with a toothpick to create veins.
