Color decisions
– body color
– body shadows
– highlights & reflected lights (how & where)
– reserve enough time to finish each piece of fruit at 1 sitting. — easier to blend colors while still wet.
[determine the body color]
find the hue – pear (cad yll med + ltl t grn + ltl lemon)
adjust the value – add wht to lighten
adjust the chroma – to darken -> add wht, add earth color (y ochr, b sienna)-> brownish. if need to be grayer add complement. match the value of the complement before adding it to the mixture.
-adding complement is often the best choice.
pear: vary the color more toward grn or yll as th color changes on the pear. add a ltl b sienna to t grn on the rt edge to more nearly match the brownish grm.
