Pink Grapefruit: What Color
are Shadows
Hello! I guess everyone has days when nothing goes
right; today I‘m having one of those days, painting shadows are something that
just tears me up.
I have been frustrated with
trying to paint shadows in this pink grapefruit and I’m never sure about how
they bend when they are reflected on a wall and if the values are right.

I don't know if that was a question. But the shadow is a darker value of the same color.I had that problenm when I started doing art in color 4 years ago.So if the wall is orange you need like maroon for the shadow. i am not sure of the name but a darker orange.
