Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Textured Rind - Use small, circular strokes or stippling with varying shades of yellow and a touch of light green to create the bumpy, realistic texture of the lemon peel.
2. 2🖍️ Glossy Leaves - Layer different shades of green, from lime to emerald, and leave small areas uncolored or use very light yellow to suggest highlights and the natural sheen of the leaves.
3. 3✨ Delicate Blossom - For the intricate lemon blossom, use soft pastels like pale yellow, white, or very light pink. Add tiny dots of a darker color for the stamens in the center.
4. 4🌈 Depth & Shadow - Observe where light would hit the branch. Use darker shades of your chosen colors on the undersides of leaves and lemons, and lighter shades on top, to give your botanical study a realistic 3D effect.
