start with your leaf or leaves - take a picture for reference and crop it so there is not much background.sketch it lightly start with light washes of color, mostly yellow. I put the faint shadows in the help see the form. Drop in some reds to get them to run. next a layer of cool colors. Note we keep the white of the veins and highlights white or pale yellow! using red and green make a brown - keep working darker and more detail in. Last put in a light wash for the table and background. if you make the upper right hand corner a little darker it will recede in space.
Click here for overview from wickipedia - Begin to notice other natural dividing lines and create many different congruent shapes. (look at image below and note you can add more circles and squares, however most of the design should come from concentric and intersecting circles and squares)
