I loved painting this lemon study and making it into a course for you all to practice on. A simple still life can be such a pleasure to paint as it allows you to focus on just one item rather than a multitude of trees, buildings or plants. You will learn so much about controlling your colours to keep them high in chroma especially near the dark areas of the painting and preventing the warm yellows from going green in the shadow zones.
