Daily Color Study - Green Pear


This was my color study today - a green pear. Green is a difficult color and especially, when it is a pear. The pear is made up of a pyramid shape on top and spherical shape on the bottom. The pear has "shoulders".   I liked my shadow but realized after I got frustrated and started to rush, that I was not logically thinking about the color. I put the piece in the freezer so it won't dry and I will work on it in the morning. 
Looking at it after putting it away, I saw where I needed to dull the color in the light with more orange and magenta. I had made it too green. The shadow side needed more blue.
