This panel sets two textures against each other and lets them do all the work. A cluster of bluebells hangs from an arching stalk at the upper left, each bell drawn as a small closed cup with a flared and notched mouth, and every one of them nods a slightly different way. Filling the rest of the sheet are three tall fern fronds, their paired leaflets marching up each rib in a long regular rhythm, and a young frond at the lower left still curled into a tight fiddlehead spiral. The contrast tells you how to color it. The ferns are many small repeated shapes and want one green applied patiently, with a second tone only where fronds overlap. The bluebells are few and large and can take a proper gradient, pale at the flared mouth and deep violet where the bell meets its stalk. Leave the long arching stems light so they stay readable through the foliage. The fiddlehead at the bottom is the smallest shape on the page and the natural place to put your brightest accent.
