This is done almost entirely with the watercolor brush, I used the marker brush for the shadows of the vegetables themselves and the wet-sponge-blending brush for the watering can.
I used gimp to white balance (the colors looked a little pale) and to add the copyright on the side.
It took everything in me to try and stay with ONE brush, I like to go all over the place! xD

I think which vegetables are pretty obvious but just in case it looks a little weird I'll list them.

Eggplant - Purple
Green pepper - In front of the watering can - middle of the group of vegetables
Cucumber - Next to the pepper with the little admiral butterfly on it
Tomato - Red (obviously xD)
Crook-neck yellow squash - Front middle
Carrot - Orange (of course xD)
Onion - Brown with the green sprouting
Mushrooms - Very front, VERY light and kind of hard to see, but I didn't have the heart to erase them. :(


Just a disclaimer, I couldn't sleep so I was actually laying down as I painted this so...if it looks funny that's why! xD



I hope somebody likes it!

I've never been fond of digital "watercolour". Your veg looks fluffy like you could cuddle it in bed. Other than that it's very good. I like your use of colour light and shadow.

I personally prefer the real thing in stuff like that, but I figured it's there I mine-as-well play with it a bit.
My mother thought it looked fluffy too. xD

I suppose you just need to figure out how to keep the edges sharper, other than that, it's very nice!
