Ripening (Tomatoes)

About the Painting:

Name: Ripening

Medium: Watercolor on Arches 140# professional paper

Size: Approx. 5×7″

I love the red in these tomatoes.  I wish I could say I grew them, but I get tomatoes up at our local market and sit them in the window until they are good and ripe.

The tomatoes were painted with multiple layers of Quin. Gold, Vermillion, and Perm Rose.  The darkened areas were painted with Winsor Purple.  The shadows were painted with Cobalt Blue and Winsor Purple with touches of Vermillion.

As always, your comments are welcome!    To view larger paintings, don’t foget to visit my website!
