You say tuh-may-toh, I say tuh-mah-toh!

"You say tuh-may-toh, I say tuh-mah-toh!"
7.5" x 5.5" ~ Watercolor on Paper

SOLD
Stretching our wings a bit...doing some different things.  As I've talked about in my dvd "Fall Harvest instructional watercolor dvd", tomatos are one of the hardest to do. Unlike apples & pears there are no speckles to cover up any flaws.  So I work pretty much wet-in-wet for these tomatos and even put a glaze over the highlight so that it would retain it's softness.  Enjoy.

You've exceeded any expectations Jacqueline! With two light sources? with two highlights, and with not a two-matoes but many many more?! It looks almost like they are performing on a stage with the beams from the stage lights around :0).
Great artwork.
Thanks,
Irina
Oh, and congratulations on the sale!
