Tomato # 175

Cadmium Lemon, Cadmium Red Deep, Ultramarine Blue and Titanium White.

The second in the series, this tomato was really fun to do, and it took little time as opposed to #174. The violet background may be a bit too much but it was exciting to see how many colors came out of this combination. I think I have an easier time with yellow. Compare it to #174 and you wouldn't believe I used the same colors. I mixed a gray-green then went to yellow and put in a gray-purple background. This exercise is what I had in mind in when I set out on this color study venture-lots of color on the subject. All of the colors used are visible on this tomato and some cool/warm contrasts.
