When I preserve the leaves I just have a flat pan and I put glycerine in it a just coat the leaf and the place it between sheets of paper towel and then place an old book or board on it with a heavy object on top and leave press for about 2 months.This allows the glycerine to really permiate the leaf.I do about 50 at a time.
When they are done pressing I just put them in a container until ready to paint on then I wash the glycerine off with hot water and soap.
nice idea jen, you paint loverly skys and wow can you paint wolves they are very natural in there true habbitat.

When using glycerine, do you brush it on?
