Order a blank dry leaf

These special leaves are from “peepal” ( Ficus religiosa) tree found in India. When leaves first appear their color is red-pinkish, but then they turn deep green and grow to about 5-7 inches long with 6-8 pairs of side-veins and a further network of very fine veins. A special process is used to make dry leaf ready for oil painting. A green leaf is soaked for 8 hours in a bowl of water and then washed carefully under running water until only the veins remain. This skeleton leaf is then dried under Sunlight. The delicate venation and the ability of the leaf to preserve itself when dried, makes it a great canvas for oil painting. Oil painting on a dry leaf is an art in itself. Artists from India have spent many years perfecting this art.
