This still life is the new lesson for my students at Riverside Art Center in Wapakoneta, Ohio. I finished it over the weekend. It is from a source photo by Ellen in Ont which I found in the reference image file in Wet Canvas.
The painting is painted on 140 lb. cold-pressed Arches watercolor paper with mostly Holbein watercolors.
This painting tested my patience - I did not enjoy painting the lemons - and the slice of lemon in the front with the back-lighting was difficult for me.
The background was also challenging since it was a patchwork of different textures and colors.
I am still not happy with the lemons and I know that my students will do much better on them than I!!! I hope they enjoy it!

How beautifully you painted the light on that slice is the very first thing I noticed, Barb. I think it is such a pretty painting!
Thanks, Sherry! I will be totally honest - this one was not easy, but like you, I think the slice is the best part. Thank you for you always supportive comments!
I could pick these lemons right off the paper, Barb. This is STUNNING.
I can SMELL these lemons.
You go girl.
