What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Start Light: Begin with light pressure to lay down your base colors. You can always layer to create darker shades and depth.

• Blend Colors: Try blending two shades of the same color family (e.g., light blue to dark blue) for a beautiful gradient effect.
• Background: Consider adding a soft background color around the ornament to make it stand out, like a light gray #D3D3D3 or a very pale wash of blue.
