Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Basket Weave - Use varying shades of brown, tan, and even a touch of gray to create depth and texture in the rustic woven basket. Imagine light and shadow playing across the strands.
2. 2🖍️ Apricot Glow - Start with light yellow or pale orange for the base of the apricots, then build up layers with brighter oranges and hints of red for a sun-ripened look. A tiny bit of white crayon can suggest their soft, fuzzy texture.
3. 3✨ Leafy Details - Color the leaves in different shades of green, adding darker tones for shadows and lighter greens for highlights. You can even add tiny veins for extra realism.
4. 4🌈 Cozy Background - Consider a soft, warm background color like a muted yellow or light brown to enhance the cozy and inviting feel of this bountiful harvest scene.
