Hi, I’m Eugenia and I will be your teacher for today’s class. I am a watercolour enthusiast who mainly focuses on food illustration. This class is a step-by-step paint through of a food illustration; Blackberry Jam on Toast. Today’s class is a request from a lot of my past students and YouTube followers, after watching a speedpaint of it on my channel a while back, and so I decided to turn this into a full class so the steps are more manageable to follow.

I will be painting at a slow pace while talking to you and informing you in each individual steps in hopes that students are able to paint along. But it is recommended for students to watch the lessons individually before painting along, as it will be easier to digest the information when students know what to expect from certain lessons. Another tip for this class, if students choose to paint along as they watch is to pause in each step, so they are able to watch and have time to paint it themselves in their own time before moving along to the next step.

Here is the class outline of the smaller lessons:

** My health condition wasn't the best while I was filming this, and I suffer from eczema on my hands, I apologise in advance if any of you are distracted by my dry skin in this class, please let me know if it does, and I'll try to wear gloves next time. If not, I really really appreciate your understanding <3**
