  2. Using the same brush and colors, but using the flat side of the brush and keeping the Thicket to the outer edge paint the large leaves.
  3. Double load the #10 flat brush with Thicket and Fresh Foliage. Add a touch of Evergreen to the Fresh Foliage side. Using the flat side of the brush, paint the small leaves. Add a few smaller leaves using Thicket only.
