Shepherds can begin with earthy browns, warm creams, and muted reds across the robes, head coverings, and staffs. Color the sheep with soft ivory or pale gray across the wool, then use deeper tones on the legs and hooves. Finish the hills, path, distant buildings, palm trees, and stars with cool greens, sandy golds, and a contrasting night sky.
