Cadmiun Lemon, Cadmium Orange, Cobalt Blue and Titanium White
I painted this on a Cad. Red Lt. ground-some visible through the white foreground. This is the third of this series, with yellow being the focus of this tomato. It could have been more of a yellow-green tomato but it ended up with much more orange. I used a lot of blue; on the shadow side, background and cast shadow, but with the addition of a small amount of the other colors it becomes a wonderful gray. This tomato has more of a cantelope coloration. I did not use as much orange as you see-cadmium orange is just very strong and dominates the colors.
