4 Organizing layers and finishing details.
To reveal the correct part of the leaf as it over-
lapped another, as she worked, Jackmore moved each leaf into its appropriate layer.
As each leaf and stem became painted enough to see the entire path, while in Normal
drawing mode she set the stroke to None. To fine-tune the painted area for a particu-
lar leaf, she double-clicked on that leaf to automatically enter into isolation mode
while already in Draw Inside mode, allowing her to continue to paint and modify
brushstrokes. For the background, on a layer below Jack-more drew a rectangle, with
the same fill and stroke color and applied a 3-pt Charcoal art brush stroke. To more
fully distribute the brushstroke, she slightly rotated a duplicate of the stroke by first
clicking the Add New Stroke icon in the Appearance panel (to add a stroke), and
from the fx menu she chose Distort & Transform> Transform and entered 180° for
rotation.
