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.

Love this! The colors are so bright. The prep was so worth it!
ReplyDeleteLove the color complements in this and the bowl is awesome.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job! I like how there are bits of green reflections in the bowl.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
