Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Leafy Depths - Use several shades of green, from light lime to deep forest, to give the apricot leaves a lush, realistic texture and depth.
2. 2🖍️ Golden Apricots - Blend warm yellows, vibrant oranges, and hints of soft red to capture the juicy, ripe appearance of the apricots on the branches.
3. 3✨ Sunny Glow - Add very light yellow or white highlights on the sunniest parts of the fruit and the top edges of the leaves to make them sparkle under the clear sky.
4. 4🌈 Distant Beauty - Use muted greens, soft browns, and light purples for the rolling hills in the background to create a sense of distance, and a clear, bright blue for the sky.
