Grape Tomatoes Glass Bowl


I did a couple of trial runs on the tomatoes before I started painting. I worked out their shading and colors.  I also created piles of paint for the corresponding  background colors to compare values and saturation without having to think about their placement.  From these piles I made adjustments while painting. This seemed to work well within the limited time I had to paint today.

  3. Beautiful job! I like how there are bits of green reflections in the bowl.

    I also liked reading about your process for mixing piles of paint. I keep meaning to try pre-mixing, at least on a limited basis. I only pre-mix gray, which I use a lot with other colors.
