Our grocer had these luscious mandarin oranges on the stem, and I was really excited to do a study of one. It also served as good leaf practice–I’ve only tried leaves once before, and yep–they are as challenging as everyone says they are!

Thanks for the positive feedback, everyone! The leaf is less convincing for me than the orange is (color was close, proportions and shading a bit off), but I’m encouraged to keep practicing
