Lay the dried leaf on a flat surface and apply a thin coat of metallic gold paint on the leaf and let it dry completely.
Using the non-brush end, dip the tip of the paint brush into the paint and make a dab on the dried leaf. Continue dabbing the paint all the way up the centre of the leaf following the vein of the leaf in varying sizes.
Continue dabbing the paint on the leaf with the other colors following the same pattern.
