Froggy's Watercress Hideout: A Botanical Peek-a-Boo

Fun Fact

Did you know that frogs don't drink water with their mouths like we do? Instead, they absorb water through their skin, especially through a patch of skin on their belly and thighs called the 'drinking patch'!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Layering Greens** - Use multiple shades of green for the watercress leaves and stems. Start with lighter tones as a base, then add darker greens for shadows and depth to make them look realistic and vibrant.
2. 2🖍️ **Glistening Droplets** - To make the water droplets sparkle, leave tiny white spots for highlights where the light hits them. Use light blues or grays around the edges for a transparent, reflective effect.
3. 3✨ **Froggy's Texture** - Give the frog's skin a mottled or slightly textured look using small dots or short strokes. Pay special attention to its large eyes, using bright yellows or oranges with a small black pupil to make them pop.
4. 4🌈 **Background Softness** - For areas slightly further back, use softer, less intense colors and blend them smoothly. This helps create a sense of depth, making the foreground frog and watercress truly stand out.
