Bountiful Harvest: Pulling Fresh Lettuce

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Soil Texture - Use different shades of brown, grey, and even a touch of dark green for the soil to show its rich, crumbly texture. Try small dots or short, varied strokes for a realistic look.
2. 2🖍️ Lettuce Layers - Butter lettuce has many delicate, overlapping leaves. Use varying shades of light green, yellow-green, and even a hint of pale yellow to give it depth and make it look fresh and vibrant.
3. 3✨ Garden Details - Pay close attention to the small surrounding plants and tiny elements. Use bright greens for leaves, and consider adding tiny pops of color for imagined small flowers or berries using precise, fine lines.
4. 4🌈 Watering Can Shine - Think about the material of the watering can. If it's metal, use a range of grey tones with a touch of white for highlights to make it appear shiny. If it's plastic, choose a solid, cheerful color like blue or green.
