Neutral Tones

For this painting, I used neutral tones of colors to paint the still-life, meaning I would take the local color and mix it with either gray or it's complimentary color to get this muted, almost grayed out version of the color. It's still a bit too saturated to be considered a true neutral toned painting since some of the colors are still too vivid and not neutralized enough, but in the long run, it still looks much closer to an actual painting.
