Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Finesse - Use a range of grays, browns, and whites to give the cuckoo's feathers a realistic, textured appearance, paying attention to light and shadow.
2. 2🖍️ Intricate Foliage - Experiment with multiple shades of green for the oak leaves, adding hints of brown or yellow for autumn touches, and don't forget the caps on the acorns!
3. 3✨ Textured Branch - Apply varying pressures and colors like dark browns, grays, and even a touch of mossy green to create the rugged, ancient bark of the oak branch.
4. 4🌈 Deep Forest Depth - For the distant trees, use muted greens, blues, and purples to create a sense of depth and mystery, making the foreground elements pop.
