Again only minor additions to the painting on the bowl and reflections (a little warm tone under the highlight on the top rim) plus blocking in of the figure bending behind the female in the foreground at the left. In contrast to the bright colours of my painting of Ellen's Stardust Diner, the colours of this painting are much more subdued. The under painting to the garment of the figure just blocked in, is a mixture of Alizarin Crimson, Chrome yellow and flake white. On their own, they would be too vibrant, so I add a touch of the complementary, blue (Indigo) , in order to tone it down. It is a technique that I use to darken a colour to use in its shadow.
