Introduction
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or, if you’re anything like me, you’d just paint them on a canvas. I actually started painting lemons to study various techniques, and hence, I got myself entangled with a bunch of amazing tutorials on how to paint lemons. They helped me understand various coloring techniques, which I found helpful when working on various other art pieces.
When you paint lemons, you should always highlight its green or lime color. The brightness of this color makes the fruit look attractive, and it’ll make your lemon painting look realistic. You should also try to add some depth to the drawing by using appropriate color blends. That’s how you paint a lemon.

Be careful while coloring the lemons, and make sure that you don’t make the canvas dirty. That’ll ruin all your efforts.
