GATHER.

Find a selection of leaves

from the yard — big ones like

oak and maple work well.

Make sure they’re totally dry.

PAINT.

Lay one leaf flat on a piece of

paper. Use a paintbrush to cover it

with a single shade of acrylic paint.

MAKE THE PRINT.

While the paint is still wet, pick

up the leaf by the stem and lay

it, paint side down, on a piece of

canvas. Press gently on the back

of the leaf, then peel it off. Repeat

for as many as you wish to create.

Once dry, frame the canvas.
