Harvest Bounty: Plum Still Life with Wildflowers

Fun Fact

Plums are part of the rose family, just like almonds and cherries! There are over 2,000 different varieties of plums grown around the world, each with its own unique flavor and color, ranging from deep purple to vibrant red and even yellow.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Plum Perfection - Use layers of purple, maroon, and even a touch of blue to give the plums a rich, realistic depth and a slightly dusty "bloom" appearance, especially where light hits them.
2. 2🖍️ Wood Grain Magic - For the rustic wooden bowl and table, use various shades of brown, gray, and subtle hints of orange or red. Vary your pressure and direction to create the illusion of natural wood grain and texture.
3. 3✨ Glassy Glow - Use very light blues, grays, or even leave areas white for the vintage glass pitcher. Add small, sharp white highlights to suggest reflections and transparency, making it look delicate.
4. 4🌈 Wildflower Whimsy - Experiment with different bright and soft colors for the wildflowers in the bouquet. Don't be afraid to mix and match yellows, blues, reds, and greens for a truly natural and vibrant look, making each flower unique.
