“A tomato with runner beans”
Another week has come to an end and here I am, 30 weeks after I started this “A painting a week project”. It has been a lovely experience so far, but I managed to overcome all obstacles and complete each of the weekly paintings.
I still try to experiment more with still life, so the runner beans from my garden came in handy. I have the plants from my friends Roger and Penny and besides being very productive, have lovely white and orange flowers. The tomato is from the supermarket, mine, although in the green house are all green (still).
I painted it during 3 sessions, couple hours each and again using liberally De Mayerne medium.
Colours used: burnt umber, warm white, two greens from Old Holland, cadmium yellow gold and two reds (Pyrol red and a cadmium red light).
Here it is:
