Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Ancient Bark** - Use various shades of brown, gray, and even a touch of deep green to create the gnarled texture of the willow's ancient bark. Vary your pressure to show deep grooves and subtle highlights.
2. 2🖍️ **Delicate Details** - For the tiny mouse, its delicate paws, whiskers, and the intricate clarinet, use very fine-tipped pencils or pens. Pay close attention to small areas to make them pop.
3. 3✨ **Musical Notes** - Imagine the melody! Use light, airy colors like pale blues, purples, or soft yellows for the drifting musical notes to give them an ethereal, magical glow.
4. 4🌈 **Floral & Fern Fantasy** - Blend different greens for the ferns and leaves, adding darker shades for depth. Choose a variety of bright or pastel colors for the wildflowers to make the base of the tree vibrant.
