In a prior post, I wrote about the compositional structure and background in my new painting, Apples and Pear. In studying the elements of color, the painting has a dominant cool temperature. I will be adding more shadow on the leaves to the right. The hues are primarily the complements, red and green. Complementary colors enhance each other. The warm light source is from the left and therefore form shadows are cool. The middle tone values (gray scale) are dominant with a small amount of light and dark values. The intensity of the fruit and leaves was strong. I muted these colors with their complements.
