Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layered Textures - Use light, short strokes for the woven basket to create a realistic texture, varying shades of brown and tan.
2. 2🖍️ Garlic Glow - For the garlic bulbs, use subtle shades of white, cream, and very light purple or pink to show their papery skin, adding gentle shadows for roundness.
3. 3✨ Wood Grain Detail - Vary your pressure and use different shades of brown and grey to mimic the natural imperfections and grain of the wooden surface.
4. 4🌈 Herb Highlight - Make the delicate herb sprig pop by using a bright, fresh green and adding tiny highlights to make it look dewy and vibrant against the rustic background.
