Ripe Bananas & Rustic Kitchen Still Life

Fun Fact

Did you know that bananas are technically berries? They grow in bunches on plants that are often mistaken for trees, but they are actually giant herbs!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layering Yellows - Use multiple shades of yellow (lemon, canary, goldenrod) to create depth and highlight the banana's curved surfaces and ripeness.
2. 2🖍️ Texture Play - For the rustic cutting board, use short, varied strokes and a mix of browns and grays to simulate wood grain and worn textures.
3. 3✨ Glass Shimmer - To make the vintage milk bottle shine, carefully leave small areas uncolored or use very light blues/grays for reflections and highlights, contrasting with darker shadows.
4. 4🌈 Shadow Mastery - Observe how light falls on the objects. Use muted purples, blues, or deep grays for shadows to add realism and dimension, especially under the bowl and objects.
