Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Root Radiance - Use light purples, whites, and creams for the turnip bodies, blending carefully to show their smooth, rounded form and the distinct color transition.
2. 2🖍️ Leafy Layers - Vary shades of green, from light lime to deep forest, for the leafy tops. Add small strokes to create texture and show individual leaf veins.
3. 3✨ Basket Weave - Choose earthy browns, yellows, and even muted oranges for the woven basket. Use short, overlapping strokes to emphasize the texture of the individual reeds.
4. 4🌈 Earthy Details - Don't forget the tiny roots and clinging soil! Use thin lines of dark brown or grey for the roots and light brown speckles for the soil to add realism.
