It’s time for a cool drink,
how about a refreshing Cherry Lemonade?
Below is my inspiration photo,
the painting is by Lori Ellis and was painted with oil
A few strokes to place the lemons
Then the glass
Water is suggested with pale aqua shadows and lines
The straw is refracted at the water line
{things distort at the water line}
cherries
A cocktail spear
The next steps involve deepening the colors and adding details
Background and shadows
I used white gouache {opaque watercolor} to add additional highlights
A little splatter to finish
Cherry Lemonade 4″ x 6″ watercolor on 140 lb. hot press watercolor paper
Which one do you like better,
Squeeze of Lemon that we painted with acrylic several weeks ago
or today’s watercolor Cherry Lemonade?
If you ever paint from one of my tutorials,
please send me a photo so I can share it~
we all need to support and encourage each other!
Happy painting,
Be Fearless!
