How to Paint a Tomato Slice in Watercolor | 15-Minute Tutorial π¨
Want to learn how to paint a fresh tomato slice in watercolor? π
I just uploaded a 15-minute step-by-step watercolor tutorial on YouTube, where I break down the entire painting processβfrom sketching and underpainting to layering, color mixing, shadows, highlights, and final details.
In this tutorial, you'll learn:
π¨ How to use yellow and blue underpainting before adding red
π
How to build rich tomato colors with transparent layers
π§ How to layer watercolor without creating a heavy, solid look
πΏ How to add depth to the tomato leaves
π How to create a soft cast shadow using color mixing
β¨ How to preserve white space and add final highlights
ποΈ How I add my optional blueprint-style ballpoint pen details
One important lesson: don't try to reach the final color in one layer. Build it gradually, let each layer dry, and strengthen only the areas that need more depth.
