This is by far my favourite tutor. Such great detail and excellent ability to explain her techniques. Calm easy to follow instructions. Thank you ❤️

[@CaroleRodrigue]

Wow, thank you!

[@Trabelsihouda]

Excellent leçon with precious details and explication. Thank you 🙏

[@Alex-co5co]

I am shocked how amazing this painting is (as well as the others of yours) yet, you have so few views. I just visited my city's art museum and I can safely say that your paintings are better than many of the ones I ve seen there. Way better! Even when compared to the best artists of my country, you are on par with them. Personally, I think you are better, if I compare at detail level. Probably, if you were to be born like 150 years ago, with this talent, you would have been a painter known at world level. It's like a picture!! Try to take advantage of this talent and advertise yourself everywhere, including TikTok

Thank you.

[@jardinsilvadiaz3132]

Saludos desde Medellin Colombia, soy tu nuevo suscriptor, me encanta tu canal

[@mjn55128]

Beautiful work 😍 Was the final shot of it after your applied a varnish? How long do you let it dry before you spray on the finish?

[@bipbip9294]

Bonsoir Carole, ravie de vous revoir et merci pour cette vidéo très intéressante. A bientôt.

[@CaroleRodrigue]

C’est rien. Merci pour votre appui!

[@petermilburn1214]

Wow Carol your explanationns are so clear and you make it look so achievable! I'm going to have a go. Is the fan brush you use to blend a brush designed for oils or are fan brushes all the same?

[@CaroleRodrigue]

I use soft synthetic fan brushes to get a smooth finish. Bristle brushes leave a rough texture.

[@sonianewbold5092]

When you say to let it dry before continuing again …for how long ?

[@charlesbowman4221]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Would it be possible to get a copy of the reference photo? Thank you

[@CaroleRodrigue]

Charles, give me a few days and I’ll put it up on a blog. And thanks!

[@dubravkakoruga267]

Prekrasno

[@robroy289]

Nice work. Would be interesting to overlay the reference photo from time to time so viewers can see how closely or not you are painting to the reference.

[@user-zm6tg4og3i]

👍💓🙏

[@maria-giulianalatini1724]

If you're only fixing small batches of color at a time, how do you keep uniformity of color?

[@CaroleRodrigue]

Nothing has a uniform colour, including these lemons, so it’s really not an issue. If the lemons were one uniform colour, they’d look flat. If I do run out of a colour, I’ll just mix more. It’s really not an issue.

[@fayee8986]

I fail to understand or did you say. Is your canvas wet or dry when you proceed to the next step. Thank you Carol I love your work!

[@CaroleRodrigue]

Dry. I let each layer dry otherwise you make mud.

[@margarethams9331]

Why put blue on a lemon ?

[@CaroleRodrigue]

Reflected light. When painting reflections, one needs to really examine the colours that are being reflected and paint those colours in order to achieve something realistic. This is what painting what you really see and not what you think you see is about.

[@fayee8986]

Absolutely gorgeous I find that your limits are yellow there aren't. When I look at lemon they're green before they turn yellow. And after they're right they have a green undertone. And of course the older they get the more the yellow darkens to an orange a phone. At this stage there too far gone to be edible. Love your protests to detail thank you for your video

[@CaroleRodrigue]

Because there’s no green in these lemons. They’re ripe. It’s really not more complicated than that. If there was green, I’d paint some green, but there isn’t. The golden rule for realism is paint what you see, not what your brain expects to see. ☺️

[@francescacuoricino9000]

It looks like juicy

[@CaroleRodrigue]

I’m glad you think so!

[@fayee8986]

Help us to understand, why you do not want to have an undertone of green. T y
