Mayonnaise is made by combining lemon juice or vinegar with egg yolks. Eggs (containing the emulsifier lecithin) bind the ingredients together and prevent separation. Then, oil is added drop by drop as the mixture is rapidly whisked.
And what you're whisking is looking less like an egg yolk and more like mayonnaise. You can add a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar at this stage to moisten things up a bit. Besides stabilizing the emulsion, the lemon juice or vinegar gives your mayonnaise a nice tangy flavor.
