Rustic Garden Harvest Still Life

Fun Fact

Artichokes are actually the edible flower buds of a thistle plant! If left to bloom, they open into beautiful purple flowers, attracting bees and butterflies.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layered Leaves - Use varying shades of green, from olive to sage, to give the artichoke leaves depth and realism, building up layers for a three-dimensional effect.
2. 2🖍️ Textured Table - Apply short, directional strokes in browns, grays, and tans for the rustic wooden table to mimic wood grain and knots.
3. 3✨ Veggie Vibrancy - Make the bell pepper pop with bright reds or yellows and the tomato with rich, deep crimson, adding subtle highlights for a freshly picked shine.
4. 4🌈 Background Details - Give the vintage trowel a metallic gleam with grays and silvers, adding rust-colored accents for an aged look, and define the watering can with soft, muted tones.
