Painting the Lemon
In this section, we'll mix colors for painting lemons, starting with neutral shadows, moving to vibrant hues in light, and ending with the green leaves & stalks.
Mixing Colors: Take your time mixing and don't hesitate to start over if needed. Refer to your values and provided color chart.
Use Enough Paint: Don't skimp on paint; having extra is more convenient than matching colors later.
Clean Your Brush Regularly: It's crucial to avoid muddying colors. Wipe your brush frequently, every few strokes.
Remember, our goal is to create compelling artwork, not just replicate the reference photo.
