I am new to this (both Reddit and drawing) so please be kind. 🙈

What do you think? Tell me what plant should I do next! :D

Oil on canvas 60 cm diameter each, 2026

I found this beautiful maple leaf while walking around St Paul, Minnesota.Some unfortunate splashes stained the background. I plan to digitize and remove them in a photo editor. My art desk was a bit narrow for the size of paper and my water cup and palette placement were awkward, which I think contributed to the splashes. I'm planning to try using a cart to the side for my palette and water on my next painting to see if that helps mitigate the issue.

Saunders-Waterford 100% Cotton Hot Press (Natural White) 9×12". Mix of Holbein, Daniel Smith, and QoR watercolor paints.

Hopefully, I can do some more leaf hunting today!

I want to do this professionally I’ve been drawing flowers here and there- there might be more tips that i could do tho improve ?
