Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Garlic Glow - Use soft creams, light purples, and subtle browns for the garlic bulbs. Remember to leave tiny white spots for highlights to make them look shiny and fresh.
2. 2🖍️ Basket Weave - To make the woven basket look realistic, use varying shades of brown, tan, and even some muted greens. Try using short, overlapping strokes to mimic the texture of the individual strands.
3. 3✨ Wooden Wonders - For the textured wooden surface, choose a few shades of brown and gray. Use parallel strokes to create wood grain and add darker shadows underneath the basket and scattered cloves to give depth.
4. 4🌈 Delicate Details - Pay close attention to the small garlic cloves and the herb sprig. Use vibrant greens for the herb and subtle shading on the cloves to make them appear round and three-dimensional.
