Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layered Greens - Use several shades of green for the chive stalks, from light lime to deep forest, to create depth and realism in the foliage.
2. 2🖍️ Intricate Insects - For the ladybug, color its shell a vibrant red, then add small, distinct black dots. For the bee, use yellows and blacks for its body, and very light blues or grays for its delicate, slightly blurred wings.
3. 3✨ Floral Details - Pay close attention to the chive flowers, using shades of purple and lavender, perhaps with tiny white highlights, to capture their spherical shape and individual petals.
4. 4🌈 Soft Background - Keep the background elements softly colored with muted greens, browns, and faint earth tones. This will make the detailed chives, ladybug, and bee truly stand out in the foreground.
