Painted Leaves

Printing from actual leaves is a fun activity since you can find the materials right in your own yard or at the park. Combine a nature hile with a simple art lesson.
These prints were made by applying a layer of acrylic paint to the leaf with acylic paint and a sponge brush. Make sure you apply the paint to the rougher side of the leaf where you can feel the veins. The paint should not be applies too thickly or you will not see the detail. I opted using rather bright colors that you wouldn't typically find in nature.
