I mixed lots of warm red colours from yellow to burnt orange and deep crimson, I thought I may have put too many into the painting but when I finished the tomotoes off with there stalks and highlights they came together :-)
The turquiose blue (blue-green) is the complementary of red-orange, which makes the colours zing together.
They certainly zing :-) Lovely stuff!
ReplyDeleteEssence of tomato! I like the delicate green stems and sepals against the bold red strokes of the tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteThe colours of Greece....somehow I am transported to hot sunshine, white walls, blue sea and sky, tavernas and sand between my toes. What have you just done with a smimple painting of tomatoes? It must be all the warm colours of those vibrant reds...sunshine is just bouncing off them.
