          I decided to use ultramarine, sepia, alizarin crimson , scarlet red, and dark red. Mixed they give you that dark purplish color.

            @wendy – thanks Wendy – your seeds are so much brighter than mine! Mine are really dark! Interesting. Here’s a photo of my real pomegranate.

                Suzanne, this is gorgeous! I love every part of it – the graceful leaves, the perfect green and red “berries”, roots, etc. Just a perfect composition with all it’s parts. Well done, and I wish you lots of luck!
