Cadmium Lemon, Quinacridone Red, Thalo Turquoise and Titanium White.
This is the last of this series-yellow is the focus. I seem to have an easier time with the yellow dominant tomatoes. This one took no time at all to paint. I started with a purple and moved to yellow. I like that you see the blue and red in this, but it is still yellow. Like # 169, this tomato is not as warm as I would like-leading me to the conclusion that this combination of colors tend to cool. It is contrary to convention that the red makes the shadow on the side of the tomato-you would expect the blue. The background is a combination of all three colors and white.
