Harvesting the Garden's Ruby Jewels

Fun Fact

Did you know that botanically, a tomato is actually a fruit, not a vegetable? It's packed with seeds and grows from the flower of the plant, just like other fruits!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layered Reds - Use multiple shades of red, from bright scarlet to deep crimson, to give your ripe tomato a rich, realistic glow. Add tiny dots of orange or yellow for sun-kissed spots.
2. 2🖍️ Vine Details - Pay close attention to the stem and calyx. Use varying greens and browns to show texture and depth where the tomato connects to the vine.
3. 3✨ Lush Foliage - Don't just use one green! Blend different shades of green, like olive, lime, and forest green, to make the tomato leaves look vibrant and full of life.
4. 4🌈 Background Depth - Use lighter, softer greens for distant plants and darker, more defined greens for closer leaves to create a sense of depth and realism in your garden scene.
