In today’s quick tutorial, we’re painting a fresh and vibrant Artistic Zucchini! πŸ₯’ This lesson is all about building rich, layered greens and yellows for a perfect garden look.

If you don’t have masking fluid, you can also use a white gel pen or paint for these final details! We’ll add cool shadows to ground the piece and finish with an optional black outline for a bold, graphic ‘pop.’ 🎨✨
