Happy new year! I am back after a break. These lemons are from my friends garden and, before going forward, I would love some feedback. I REALLY struggle with leave and feels that I am going too heavy on the colored pencil and not taking advantage enough of the watercolor. In person, it’s much more vibrant than in my photo! Thank you!
Hi Becky! Welcome back and Happy New Year! You are certainly starting off with a bang! This is gorgeous! The lemons have such great color and form! I have been having the same inclination recently of wanting to do more with the watercolor before I add the pencil, but I can find no fault with your leaves! They are beautifully done and carry as much impact as the lemons! I feel they support each other very well! Being very picky – the stem and a couple of places on the leaves look like they are outlined. Bravo!
