當我剛剛從雜貨店,我立即設置我的道具。我想要一個(gè)新鮮、國家吸引這幅畫(huà)。所以,我選擇了白色桌巾和切開(kāi)的檸檬…我喜歡它興致很高的氣味?！八{鳥(niǎo)”是鳥(niǎo)的選擇這個(gè)愉快的繪畫(huà)。我覺(jué)得有設置,它有很好的能量,我相信這個(gè)項目。
但是,我不知道標題,“檸檬,檸檬水”將字面上痛苦的過(guò)程,預示著(zhù)這幅畫(huà)…
開(kāi)始:
最近,我的‘開(kāi)始’更精煉比我更大膽的方法對阻塞在。但每種方法,我一般開(kāi)始我的靜物畫(huà)在繪畫(huà)與烏賊健美。對于這個(gè)“開(kāi)始”,我開(kāi)始通過(guò)混合生赭和深褐色的混合在一起,然后變薄。我用這個(gè)單色顏色釘基本形狀,光模式和陰影的組成。我的靈感來(lái)自于荷蘭大師經(jīng)常以這種方式工作。
此時(shí)我開(kāi)始塊顏色。我的計劃是為了保持顏色和諧,所以我選擇使用藍色,橙子和溫暖的黃色。到目前還好…
中間:
中間部分的任何項目,藝術(shù)相關(guān)與否,可以最艱難的。正是這個(gè)時(shí)候我們可以迷失方向,失去焦點(diǎn)——我就是這樣!事實(shí)上,我在這幅畫(huà)里,停止拍攝階段,因為我確信這個(gè)人會(huì )適合可怕的,垃圾!
然后這幅畫(huà)的名字,“檸檬,檸檬水”像磚頭一樣砸醒了我——我在這里,隨便掙扎,似乎一個(gè)“檸檬”的一幅畫(huà)!所以那么好吧,我決定讓“檸檬”的情況。當我改變我的消極態(tài)度,這幅畫(huà)是酸甜!轉過(guò)身來(lái)意義,一個(gè)人應該以…最好的壞情況。什么一個(gè)生活教訓
問(wèn)題是,我在這個(gè)怪異的形狀的手柄,然后我被難倒了選擇背景顏色。我嘗試使用的顏色被毀了整幅作品的感覺(jué)。與此同時(shí),我的多汁的檸檬是干燥和皺縮起來(lái)!現在,我希望我記錄了這些不同的階段,但那是過(guò)去的事情在我的腦海中——哈哈!
- 最后,經(jīng)過(guò)反復試驗和重涂,我擦,決定保持溫暖的sepias在左側的分類(lèi)與酷,因為它發(fā)展到音調右邊進(jìn)入光。
- 我選擇了一個(gè)薰衣草藍色陰影,贊美了黃色和橙色。
終點(diǎn):
你們大多數人都知道,知道,我添加的鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)和蝴蝶,有時(shí)甚至經(jīng)常一只猴子,我的靜物畫(huà)。再次,荷蘭大師做的,我為什么不可以?
- 我想等到大部分的這幅畫(huà)是我添加之前完成我的‘活’科目。
- 我開(kāi)始用同樣的烏賊在繪畫(huà),就像上面的投手。
- 然后我塊顏色和添加細節去年。
所以,我真的很高興,我被這幅畫(huà)和再次想起這個(gè)古老的諺語(yǔ),“如果生活交易你將檸檬檸檬水”

The Concept:
Once I returned from the grocery store, I immediately set up my props. I wanted a fresh, country appeal to this painting. So, I chose the white doily and sliced open one of the lemons…I enjoyed its zesty scent. The ‘bluebird’ was the bird of choice for this cheery painting. I felt good about the set up – it had good energy and I was confident about this project.
However, little did I know that the title, “Lemons to Lemonade” would literally foreshadow the agonizing process of this painting…
The Start:
Lately, my ‘starts’ have been more refined than my bolder approach towards blocking in. But with either approach, I generally begin my still life paintings with a sepia toned under-painting. For this ‘start’, I began by mixing raw umber and burnt sienna together and then thinned the mixture. I used this monochromatic color to nail the basic shapes, light patterns and shadows of the composition. I am inspired by the Dutch masters who often worked in this manner.
At this point I began to block in the color. My plan was to keep the colors harmonious, so I chose to use blues, oranges and warm yellows. So far so good…
The Middle:
The middle part of any project, art related or not, can be the toughest. This is the time when we can get lost and lose focus – and I did just that! In fact, I struggled with this painting for days and stopped photographing the stages because I was certain that this one would be fit for the dreaded – TRASH!
Then the painting’s name, “Lemons to Lemonade” hit me like a ton of bricks – Here I was, literally struggling with what seemed to be a ‘lemon’ of a painting! So right then, I decided to make ‘lemonade’ out of this situation. As soon as I changed my negative attitude, the painting turned from sour to sweet! Meaning…that one should make the best of bad situations. What a life lesson.
“When fate hands us a lemon, let’s try to make a lemonade”-Dale Carnegie
“If you have a lemon, make lemonade.” -Howard Luck Gossage
The problem was, I struggled with the weird shaped handle and then I got stumped on choosing the background color. The colors I experimented with were ruining the feel of the whole painting. Meanwhile, my juicy lemons were drying and shriveling up! Now, I wish I documented those various stages, but that was the last thing on my mind at the time – lol!
Finally, after trial and error – wiping and repainting, I decided upon keeping the warm sepias in the left-hand side with a gradation of cool tones as it progressed to the right side and into the light.
I chose a lavender blue shade which compliments the yellows and oranges.
The Finish Line:
As most of you know by know, I add birds and often butterflies, and sometimes even a monkey, to my still life paintings. Once again, the Dutch Masters did it, so why can’t I?
I like to wait until the majority of the painting is completed before I add my ‘live’ subjects.
I start with the same sepia under-painting, just like the pitcher above.
Then I block in the color and add the details last.
So, I am really glad that I stuck with this painting and was once again reminded of this age-old proverb, “If life deals you lemons make lemonade”
