Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Basket Weave - Use varying shades of brown, tan, and even a touch of gray to create a realistic, textured look for the woven basket. Try to follow the direction of the weave for depth.
2. 2🖍️ Onion Layers - For the onions, use subtle gradients and layering. For red onions, use deep purples and maroons with lighter pinks. For yellow, try golden hues and light browns. White onions can have delicate grays and creams to show their papery skins.
3. 3✨ Tiny Details - Don't forget the small details! Color the delicate roots on the onions, add darker veins to the fallen leaves, and give the friendly ladybug bright red with black spots. These small touches bring the scene to life.
4. 4🌈 Grounding the Scene - Add a soft shadow beneath the basket to make it appear firmly placed on the ground. A gentle wash of earthy tones for the background, like muted greens or browns, will make the vibrant harvest stand out even more.
