For up close and personal, I decided to do a lemon cut in half. I had several ideas but I chose this one because I knew I could learn from it. The emphasis is on the lemon. It is the brightest and lightest element in my project which makes it stand out. The medium I chose was oil pastel. I chose to do oil pastel because I thought I could really get those bright highlights and I could do the inside easily. I took a risk by adding orange to darken some areas. At first, I thought it was going to look more like an orange, but once I started blending I realized that it still looked like a lemon. Of the five characteristics of great art, I included technique and medium in my art.
