👨🏻🎨 We invite you to join painting masterclasses with artist Adam Till.
🍊 Topic of the workshop: The Beautiful Lemon and Mandarin
Bright yellow peel, a textured surface, a distinctly sour taste, and an invigorating aroma — the lemon is not only a fruit, but also a powerful visual image. Since the 17th century, when lemons became more widely available in Europe, they have held an important place in still-life painting. With the rise of the merchant class in Holland and the expansion of trade routes, lemons became symbols of wealth, luxury, exoticism, and goods from newly discovered distant lands. During the Baroque period, lemons were also associated with many layers of symbolic meaning.
In this class, we will paint lemons and mandarins, drawing inspiration from Flemish artists’ works. We will begin with a sketch and a traditional black-and-white glaze layer. Then, using transparent oil paints, we will build up the image and add realistic details and highlights.
