Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Rind Realism** - Use various shades of green, from light lime to deep forest, along with some darker blue or even brown hints, to create the intricate stripe patterns and textured look of the watermelon rind.
2. 2🖍️ **Juicy Interior Glow** - For the vibrant red flesh, start with a light pink base and layer increasingly darker reds. Add subtle white lines or very pale pink areas to suggest the juicy, watery texture, and tiny black seeds.
3. 3✨ **Depth and Detail** - Pay close attention to the farmer's attire and the details of other produce. Use slightly softer, lighter colors for the background marketgoers to make the watermelon display pop in the foreground.
4. 4🌈 **Vibrant Variety** - Think about the colors of other fruits and vegetables you might see at a market. Use a wide palette of natural, bright colors to fill the surrounding stalls and create a lively, abundant atmosphere.
