ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #103:

It took lots of layers to create the feeling of leaves on the forest floor! I used the liner brushes to make networks of crisscrossing linear strokes. The first layer was a mix of yellow and yellow green; next came golds and oranges. Since I got carried away adding the various browns, I mixed a little white gouache with yellow and yellow green to add a few lighter leaves into an area that got too dark.
