Golden Harvest Pineapple Still Life

Fun Fact

Did you know that a pineapple isn't just one fruit, but a collection of many individual berries fused together? Each 'eye' on the pineapple's skin used to be a separate flower! It takes almost three years for a single pineapple plant to produce just one fruit.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layered Textures - Use various shades of yellow, green, and brown to create the bumpy, scaly texture of the pineapple skin. Don't be afraid to layer colors for depth!
2. 2🖍️ Water Droplet Magic - For the water droplets, color the area around them with the fruit's color, then leave a small highlight untouched and add a tiny shadow beneath for a realistic, glistening effect.
3. 3✨ Light and Shadow Play - Observe where the light hits the pineapple and the table. Use lighter colors for highlights and deeper, richer tones for shadows to make the scene pop and appear three-dimensional.
4. 4🌈 Rustic Harmony - Blend earthy tones like browns, grays, and muted greens for the wooden table and woven basket. Add pops of vibrant color to the hibiscus flowers to draw the eye.
