Garden Gems: Plucking Perfect Tomatoes

Fun Fact

Did you know that botanically, a tomato is actually a fruit, not a vegetable? It's often used as a vegetable in cooking because of its savory flavor!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layering Red - Use different shades of red (bright red, crimson, a touch of orange-red) to give your ripe tomato a rich, realistic glow.
2. 2🖍️ Green Details - Focus on the many greens! Use light greens for young leaves, darker greens for mature foliage, and even a touch of yellowish-green for sun-kissed areas.
3. 3✨ Shadow Play - Add subtle shadows under the leaves and around the tomato where it meets the hand or vine to make your drawing pop and look three-dimensional.
4. 4🌈 Textured Stems - Use browns, greens, and even a hint of gray to color the tomato plant's branches and stems, showing their rough, woody texture.
