Watercolour Lemon Tree 柠檬树

[helene]

Dear my friends:

Today I would like to share with you a water painting, lemon tree. In hot summer, I like its bright color.

The Process:

Step 1: line work:

首先在水彩纸上勾勒出柠檬树的线稿。

Step 2 : make color for lemon

然后调色，先调柠檬的颜色。用黄色和少许柠檬黄与水混合均匀，为柠檬底色上色。然后用少量的的橘黄和中黄调和，在柠檬的暗部上色。

Step 3 make color for leaves

再调叶子的颜色，用草绿和浅黄和水混合均匀，整体铺上一层底色。

So does the branch. 树枝也涂上。

Step 4: Darken the green by adding dark green and a little sky blue

再用深绿色和一点天蓝色混合叠加深色。暗部和叶脉的纹理也上色。树枝的枝干转折处也上深色。注意明暗的对比，慢慢画。

Thank you for reading

This is great! Nice work. I like the texture you added to the lower leaves. I think you should paint the other leaves the same way.
Are you going to add anything else to the painting? If not you could cut it out and stick it against a coloured background (maybe dappled blue?) and then frame it. Would look really cool!

[helene]

wow! that's a good idea, yes adding some background looks very cool!
but I don't frame it, I think I need to draw many times to achieve a good work.

thank you so much @bigjones, have a good day!^_^

Great work! Reminds me of Ellsworth Kelly. I graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute with a degree in painting, so I know my stuff

Watercolor always intimidated me. If you mess up and smudge paint, you can't exactly erase that well! This takes talent, and you inspire me :)
