Keep the sky color light and hook in a calm manner as there is so much action in the foreground. A restful area is necessary.

1. The light source is from the left, so the lightest value on the trees will be on the left hand side and gradually become the darkest value on the right. It is up to the individual to decide how many value of each color they want. For primitive hooking at least a 3 value swatch would be recommended. 

For cuts #3 to #5 a 4-5 value swatch would be recommended.

Dyed yarn can also be used successfully and so can recycled plaids, actually you can use any mix that takes your fancy as it is only going on the wall.

2. For the actual flower beds, hook the tops lighter, then medium to dark as the light is not that strong at the base of the plants.

3. Try to put the yellow gold's close to the mauve but in lesser amounts so they won't fight each other for attention. Compliments should range 70% of one color(dominant) and less than 30% of its compliment.

4. Play darks against lights to create form and excitement.

The bright colors and lively shapes and edges keep the viewer's eye traveling around your garden.

5. This pattern has both horizontals and verticals lines which represent serenity and quiet. In this case, they help to create the natural beauty of your garden.

6. Notice the diagonals, zigzags and curving lines are lines of action and suggestsomething exciting is going on in your garden.

7. Please don't struggle with this pictorial. You are creating an "impression" mainly from your light source and knowledge of fiber art. 

It's like doing a watercolor, "Let It Flow".

Enjoy and may you create many more fiber art impressions.
