Light and shadow are what bring a still life to life! There’s something so beautiful about studying how light falls across an object, where the highlights appear, and how the shadows create form, depth, and dimension.
In this Lemons & Figs study, the shading and highlights do so much of the storytelling. It’s not just about painting the fruit; it’s about understanding the light source, observing the values, and using those contrasts to make each subject feel three-dimensional.
