Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Corn Stalk Layers - Use various shades of green, yellow-green, and even light brown to show the depth and texture of the tall corn stalks. Add darker tones for shadows between the rows.
2. 2🖍️ Scarecrow's Charm - Give the friendly scarecrow character with worn denim blues for overalls, faded plaid reds or yellows for a shirt, and straw yellows for its stuffing and hat. Don't forget small patches for detail!
3. 3✨ Basket of Plenty - Make the corn ears pop with bright yellows and oranges, using lighter shades for highlights. For the plump pumpkins, try deep oranges, reds, and even some muted greens or striped patterns for variety.
4. 4🌈 Sunny Day Glow - Capture the feeling of a bright autumn afternoon by using warm yellows and light oranges for the sky. Use subtle purples or grays for shadows to add depth and make the sunlit areas truly shine.
