A gardener's afternoon

A peg rail holds the makings of a garden afternoon: gloves, a trowel, a little plant and a sun hat. Hanging leaves add a decorative finish beneath the familiar objects.

How much detail?

Glove seams, hat bands and small leaves add detail to familiar large objects. About the labels.

Try this palette: Potting-shed afternoon

Use one accent color on the gloves and hat ribbon, with earthy tones for the pot.

A small coloring tip

A pointed pencil suits the hat's narrow rings and glove flowers; wider pencil strokes work on the trowel blade.

Choose a matching color for the glove flowers and hat ribbon to make them feel like a set.
