Leaves are big in art prints right now and are simple enough to create yourself. Here we’ve created an oversized leaf print, inspired by the Monstera leaf.
You will need: Canvases, oversized leaves collected from the garden, roller/sponge and tray, blu tac, Resene testpots in your choice of colours: we used Resene Half Tea, Resene Madam M, Resene Red Hot and Resene Red Letter.
Top tip: Layer up the leaf images and Resene colours to add more colour and detail to your finished artwork.
