Cozy Harvest Plum & Prune Still Life

Fun Fact

Did you know that prunes are actually just dried plums? When plums are dried, their natural sugars become more concentrated, giving them a unique sweet taste and a wonderfully wrinkled texture!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Juicy Plums - Use shades of deep purple, plum, and even a touch of reddish-blue to give the fresh plums a vibrant, realistic glow. Think about where the light might hit!
2. 2🖍️ Wrinkled Prunes - For the prunes, use darker, richer purples, browns, and even some deep maroon. Add tiny lines of a slightly darker shade to emphasize their delightful wrinkles and texture.
3. 3✨ Wooden Textures - The wooden bowl and table are perfect for showing off your shading skills! Use varying shades of brown, ochre, and even a touch of grey to create the grain and texture of the wood. Don't forget shadows under the bowl and fruit.
4. 4🌈 Delicate Details - Pay close attention to the small leaves and stem. Use different greens for the leaves, perhaps a lighter green for highlights and a darker green for shadows. A touch of brown for the stem will make it pop!
