Hi everyone, today I’m going to share how to paint this collection of baked goods as a sketchbook spread. I personally love painting breads, cakes and pastries, so I decided to dedicate a whole class to paint simplified and stylized baked goods. I turned this into almost like a doodle style which doesn’t require too many painting techniques, so I would say that this is suited for all levels of painters.

In this class I will share my ideation process, right from listing ideas, breaking down the shapes to simplify the chosen items, how I form my layout including my trials, sketching then of course the painting portion, which I will break per item as short lessons, then finished off with the decorative elements and final detail to bring everything together.

For a lot of my chosen baked goods I will be painting from imagination or memory, but I understand that for a lot of people it helps to look at some form of reference, so I’ve compiled similar references to what I had in mind as I painted, so you can always refer back to the actual objects if it helps with the thinking process. I’ve included these in the lessons, but I’ll also compile them as a file that you can download print to have next to you as you paint.

Like any of my classes, if you prefer to jump straight to painting, I’m going to have the outline ready for you to download from the projects and resources section of this class and trace onto your watercolor paper.

If you’ve never taken any of my classes before, as a disclaimer, I will be slightly speeding through the process and cutting parts of the painting where my hand is inactive or off the frame, so please have a look at the class or skim through a few lessons so you get used to the speed and understand my teaching format, then when you’re ready to paint along, please pause in between steps so you can paint at your own pace and take breaks in between whenever needed.

If this class sounds fun to you, let's get started and move on to the lessons.
