I went way, way, way out of my comfort zone for this one! I painted OUTDOORS for starters. I only used THREE colors: cadmium yellow light, cadmium red and ultramarine blue, and I used THREE brushes: large, medium and small. In addition, I finished the painting in ONE HOUR. Why such strict parameters, you ask? Well, it was another Daily Paintworks Challenge! I must admit, I felt like a beginner today... especially when it took me about an hour just to remember how to unfold my plein aire easel. Tough as this one was, these challenges are great. I have new found respect for plein aire painters and it was nice to teach this old dog a new trick.
I love that spot of orange on the tomato...really caught my eye. I had to laugh about your struggle with the easel...I can relate to that!
