Try this palette: A travel sketchbook

Warm ochreQuiet greenRiver blueTerracotta

Use two related greens on the bamboo and a pale warm color on the path to separate depth.

A small coloring tip

Use a pointed pencil for architectural details and a light first layer for the larger surfaces.

Choose a restrained travel-sketchbook palette, then add one personal accent. This imaginative AI-generated scene interprets a real place; it is not a measured architectural drawing or a map.
