Making Lemonade
Stephanie paints all kinds of still life scenes, plus lots of florals, but her favorite thing to paint is something so simple, common, and often overlooked…
It’s something we may well have in the fridge, always see in the grocery store, and that we use to add zesty flavor to our food…
Lemons!
Ripe yellow lemons…
…young green lemons…
…Meyer lemons…
…Lisbon lemons…
…Eureka lemons.
Here’s where it all started:
Years ago, when she was living out in Tucson, Arizona, Stephanie was given a lemon tree.
She was delighted.
She’d never painted a lemon tree before.
So she did what any great still life painter would do: She took some lemons inside and began painting.
And as she continued to paint, instead of seeing a lemon and its leaves, she saw shapes, colors, and values.
The way one shape interacted with the shape next to it started jumping out at her.
The colors of one object influenced the colors of the object next to it.
But what does this all mean for you?
Well, now that Stephanie has perfected the still life with lemons, it’s not only her favorite subject to paint, her lemon paintings are her top sellers. It turns out people have a love affair with lemons.
And Stephanie is going to teach you exactly how she does it, from start to finish.
Though she’ll be painting lemons, the objects in your still life can be anything you choose — teacups, oranges, jewelry, flowers, old car parts...
All that matters is your desire, commitment, and excitement about painting.
And if you have those qualities, now is your opportunity to learn the skills to begin painting with a whole new level of understanding.
