Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layering Rind Texture - Use a light yellow as a base for the lemons. Then, add small dots or short, curved strokes of darker yellow and a touch of light green to create the bumpy, realistic texture of the lemon peel.
2. 2🖍️ Glossy Leaf Veins - Start with a medium green for the leaves. After coloring, use a slightly darker green or even a very fine dark pencil to carefully trace the visible veins, then blend gently for depth and a realistic sheen.
3. 3✨ Delicate Blossom Hues - For the intricate lemon blossom, use very light yellows and whites. Add tiny, subtle touches of pink or soft purple to the edges of the petals to give it a natural, delicate blush, making it truly come to life.
4. 4🌈 Shadows and Highlights - Carefully observe where the light source might be. Add subtle shadows under the lemons and leaves using light grays, muted greens, or even a soft brown to give your botanical study a three-dimensional, lifelike appearance.
