The harvest cornucopia

A woven cornucopia spills pumpkin, apples, pear, grapes and corn across a wooden table. Broad fruit shapes sit beside the smaller repeating spaces of basket weave and kernels.

How much detail?

Basket strands, corn kernels and grapes reward a fine tip; the pumpkin and apples offer larger areas between them. About the labels.

Try this palette: Harvest basket

Use warm colors for the fruit and a quieter tan for the basket. Repeat one green in the leaves and corn husk.

A small coloring tip

Work through the basket a strand at a time with a pencil. Leave small light gaps on the fruit if you want a shiny effect.

Choose one fruit to make an unexpected color and let it become the focus.
