The vegetable patch

A raised bed holds leafy cabbages, a row of carrots and a supported tomato plant. The different leaf shapes make it a good page for exploring how many greens you can use together.

How much detail?

Leaf layers, tomatoes and garden-bed corners offer a moderate amount of detail. About the labels.

Try this palette: Kitchen-garden greens

Use different greens for each crop and bright red tomatoes to mark the upper row.

A small coloring tip

A sharpened pencil reaches the fine carrot leaves; use broader strokes on the wooden bed and cabbage leaves.

Give every crop a different green, then repeat each green once on another part of the page.
