Little glass terrarium

A small world of plants sits inside a domed glass terrarium. Leaf patterns, pebbles and soil layers offer plenty of detail, while the clear upper space keeps the scene airy.

How much detail?

Plant layers, small stones and the terrarium frame create many smaller spaces. About the labels.

Try this palette: Garden under glass

Use a very pale blue only beside the glass edges and varied greens inside.

A small coloring tip

Use sharpened pencils for the tiny stones and plant stripes; keep blue around the glass edges very light.

Hide a tiny invented treasure among the stones without covering the plants.
