Hello people! In view of the global circumstances and inspired by so many artists and people sharing and caring for everyone who has to remain at home, I decided to finish this post that I initially started back in August last year. Due to the amount of workload, I had to pause but now felt the most appropriate time to publish something that could potentially inspire others. This post is based on my painting of a pain d’épices (French for “spices bread”) in which I illustrated the actual cake, its metal tin and a wooden spoon. I had the idea to go more in-depth into my own painting process. I realized that a crucial part of creating a realistic piece was getting the different textures right. Particularly in culinary subjects, texture is key in my opinion. While I am no expert (yet 😜), I feel that the best way to continue learning is by sharing and aiming to explain what you already know and even forcing yourself to investigate more to be able to provide as much value as you can. So, what that mindset, I will go over the three different textures I mentioned before and I will try to give you some tips and process so that you can try them too!
