I'm excited to explore painting tomatoes with you! Those shadows really make it special. This one is long because it's repetitive, but I think you'll enjoy that aspect of it. I can't wait to see how you do and please let me know if you have any questions.

Paper: arches 140 lb cotton 9X12" paper that I've cut into 3X3" pieces, giving me 12 pieces per page.

Paint: The palette I'm using today is the split primary palette by letter sparrow: cad yellow deep, lemon yellow, cad red, magenta, ultramarine blue, cerulean, indigo and sap green. I don't use all of these colors in this painting but I mention each one as I use them

Brushes: round size 4 and size 10 Princeton brand

Woaahh.. wait, it's early for tomatoes, but no worries, i'm quite behind, so by the time I catch up, i'll have received my new letter sparrow paints and get the fancy paper and it will be time to plant tomatoes and paint them!

Kristin Van Leuven

Haha we’re planting our tomatoes tomorrow so I think I have them on the brain already!

Anne Gallagher Dionian

Tiffany

I’m excited to do these!!

Kristen E Colton

I tried it! I am not great at technology. Is there a way I can show you what I painted? How?

Mary Kay

These look yummy! Makes me hungry for some fresh tomatoes. Great lesson. Thanks!

Hi I'm a new subscriber and look forward to participating. I was wondering if you would please add the pigment formula to the color names. Not all brands use the same name. Thanks

Denise

Great tutorial. It was very fun to paint.

Kristin Van Leuven

That has been a tricky thing between brands. I can ask Letter sparrow what the formula names are

Kristin Van Leuven

Hi Kristen! If you go to the bottom of the screen on your phone there is a word bubble that takes you to the group chats where you can send your pictures

Marcela

Excuse me ,where can i find the darker version of the tomatoe sketch ?

Funny you asked! I was just looking at letter sparrow's website and here's what they have listed for the palette: Quin. Magenta PR122 Coral Red PR255 Sunflower Yellow PY65 Primrose Yellow PY3 Phthalo Blue PB15:3 Ultramarine Blue PB29 Indigo PB66 (added by Kristin) Nitroso Green PG8 (added by Kristin) I use Winsor & Newton and it looks like the the Phthalo Blue is Winsor Blue (green shade), and Winsor & Newton's Hooker's Green might be a bit of a closer match to Nitroso Green I used those colors for my last follow along with Kristin (instead of my usual Cerulean Blue & Permanent Sap Green) and the colors seemed to come out much closer to hers. :)

Thank you! I am using Daniel Smith paints and now I’ll be able to find the right yellow and blue. Really appreciate your response.

Katy Jacobson

The hint of yellow over the tomatoes was amazing.

These are the Daniel smith colors that have the same pigments as the sparrow paints mentioned above: Hansa yellow light= py 3 Hansa yellow deep = py 65 Quinacridone lilac = pr 122 Pyrrol scarlet = pr 255 Pthalo blue green shade= pb15:3 Ultramarine blue = pb 29
