I know this is an older video, but I just watched it and painted a most cheerful lemon.

[mariakalogerasarch]

Just lovely! I can feel the beautiful sunshine on that lemon.

The lemon is so fresh. It’s suitable for summer. I enjoy watching your video. Thank you🌹

I love that you are left handed and make this look easy...going to replay & try later! Thanks!

I love the dappling technique along with the use of water to fill in the middle of the lemon on the first pass. It leaves such a lovely highlight!

This beginner thanks you for your time and talent!

Excellent and thanks so much! I've a bottle of Winsor Newton granulating medium today and a lemon would be a good one to try it on! 🎨

Thank you so much for this video! I'm trying to get more experience with watercolours, but was getting frustrated with my slow progress. This was a very simple tutorial to follow with a beautiful end result - I'm quite proud of how mine turned out!

Thank you teacher Harriet. It's a great tutorial.😍

[craftygal]

I love this for a quick and easy lemon painting. I need more practice but not bad for a first go. Any chance you can do some close ups of things like the blossom detail? That would be terrific.

[shelleyleonard]

Can u have a go at some landscapes? Loved the lemon, I’ve done tons of fruit and would now like to move landscapes.

I discovered your channel after reading a review of your book on botanical painting which is posted on Parka Blogs, a Singaporean artist blog. If I may suggest a watercolor tutorial, how about painting autumn leaves? Thank you for your tutorials. They are helpful. I don’t have a lot of talent, so your lessons are of tremendous help and encourage me to keep going.

It's a great tutorial, maybe I'm not a great student that's the problem🥲
