Tomato # 184

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

Second in the series, with yellow being the dominant color; true to form, this one happened quickly. Maybe it's the Cad. Lemon-it is a good yellow to use for vegetables, it brings light and can be cool, unlike most warm yellows. I managed to get all three colors to make a visible appearance. Notice that the straight Cad. Lemon applied to the top of the tomato looks warm in comparison to the rest of the yellows on the tomato. It's all about context. There is a lot of red in the shadows-again not to be expected-at the moment I am satisfied with the result.
