I didn’t have a green tomato. It was difficult to get the red colors over the dark sepia grisaille. Mainly I used Pale Geranium Lake #121 and Dark Cadmium Orange #115.
You can try one using red violet as your grisaille – and then later in the process use dark sepia to darken a bit more. You can try a watercolour wash of red to saturate that red. Or just keep building up your colour with your red and orange pencils. Maybe some yellow too in the layers. And don’t forget to tone down your reflective highlight. Good work Kyra!

Yeah looking good! Great idea to add some red watercolor, Sam. 🙂
