Tomato #161

Cadmium Orange, Sap Green, Dioxazine Purple and Titanium White

The last of this series, emphasizing the green yielded a really green tomato. I used more colors that you can see but without a yellow I had to rely on white to produce the light and keep it green. When adding the orange you get a nice warm brown and when adding purple the result is the background in #160. When I just added medium to straight Sap Green the result was a warmer green than when I added white, which turned the green cool. I tried to make the shadows warm to counter this. When comparing this tomato to the other two in the series, this one appears very different, which demonstrates just how versatile three colors can be.
