Rustic Harvest Still Life

Fun Fact

Did you know that an eggplant is actually a fruit, not a vegetable? Botanically, it's classified as a berry because it grows from the flower of a plant and contains seeds! It's related to tomatoes and potatoes.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layered Textures - Use different pressures or fine lines to bring out the grain of the wooden cutting board and the smooth, shiny skin of the eggplant.
2. 2🖍️ Realistic Shading - Add darker shades in areas where light wouldn't hit, like under the bell pepper or within the folds of the herb leaves, to create depth and make the vegetables look three-dimensional.
3. 3✨ Vibrant Produce - Choose rich, deep purples for the eggplant, bright greens for the bell pepper and herbs, and warm browns or yellows for the garlic, making each item pop.
4. 4🌈 Highlight Details - Use a very light color or leave small white spots on the eggplant and bell pepper to suggest highlights, making them appear shiny and freshly picked.
