Tomato # 181

Cadmium Lemon, Cadmium Red Deep, Sap Green  and Titanium White.

This tomato focuses on the Sap Green. I ended up using a lot of the red and really not much yellow. The background has a strong red presence as do the shadows. I didn't use as much green as I could have, not sure why, I didn't have to and it appears green. It might have benefited from more green on the shadow
side, but when you achieve a pleasing result-stop, so I did. Sap Green and Cad. Red Deep can produce a wonderful warm red brown and when white is added it makes a warm gray. In this context, the Sap Green can be quite cool if used alone or with white.
