Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layering for Depth - Use multiple shades of purple, red, and blue for the fresh plums to create realistic shadows and highlights, making them look round and juicy.
2. 2🖍️ Texture Magic - For the wrinkled prunes, try using short, overlapping strokes in darker browns, deep purples, and even hints of black to emphasize their dried, textured appearance.
3. 3✨ Wood Grain Detail - Pay close attention to the wooden bowl and table. Use varying shades of brown and tan, drawing fine lines to mimic the natural grain and knots of the wood for a realistic feel.
4. 4🌈 Leafy Accents - Color the delicate plum leaves with different greens, adding hints of yellow or brown for realism, and use a very light green or yellow for the slender stem.
