Tomato #177

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

This tomato looks a little dull to me, but this time, at least, I stopped. Cerulean Blue  does not seem to work as well as Ultramarine in this application. It turns gray quickly. I just had trouble getting this to show color, Maybe I didn't work hard enough or I started out with too much gray trying to put my darks in first-I guess sometimes rules should be broken. There are a few good areas, mostly on the front of the tomato. I'm wondering if the yellow in this series works out better-we'll see tomorrow...
