Tomato #154

Cadmium Lemon, Quinacridone Red, Viridian and White

This tomato was the easiest and quickest I have done so far. It painted itself, and has all of the colors in the shadows. The light is very cool and harsh and was good for me to do for a change. I think the forward shadow side is quite successful and appears to have complex shadows, even though it is only a few strokes-which is how it is supposed to work. If you have never used Cad. Lemon before, consider doing so-it can give you a light often difficult to achieve with the warmer Cadmium Yellows.
