How to Combine Colors to Create Unique Shades for Your Food Tray

DAVID CLEMEN: Hi, I'm David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village. And today, we are going to paint a wooden food tray. All right, welcome back. In looking at this, when I originally drew it. I thought it was two apples, but this kind of is oblong and it kind of almost looks like a pear so I'm going to change that into a pear. So I'm going to add some white over here. I want to use mostly white and put it over here with just a-touch of green and maybe a little bit of this yellow and hopefully I'll get the color that's close to a pear color. And I'll just kinda come in here and fill it in. And kind of change the shape a little bit to the smaller top that we're used to seeing. Maybe a little bit of black will give it more-maybe a little blue also, more of that pear color. And then make the bottom a bit wider. And then just kinda pull it out from behind the grapes. And a bit of yellow. And I can even throw in a touch of red on it too actually. It's going to have some glare off of that apple right there. And then once again for the stem, I'm can just kinda get some brown and red, and there I have my pear kinda just sneaking behind the apple and in between the grapes.
