Hi my name is Eugenia and I’m here with another class. Today I’m going to be sharing with you my go to colour palette and mixtures in order to create the perfect golden brown bread. I know I’ve shared something similar before on my realistic pastry class. But since I was using my koi palette back then, the colours have a slightly different result.
I’ll be using my Holbein paints and a couple of Winsor and Newton for today and I’ll also be showing you how I apply these colours to a couple of bread paintings.
We are going to paint 3 types of breads in this class; a dinner roll, plain bagel and also a Japanese custard bun. I’ll be showing you in detail how I paint the dinner roll and also the bagel as in my usual classes but as for the custard bun, I’ll be turning this into a speed paint, which you can use to reference for your own paintings while applying the techniques and colours learnt in the previous bread lessons.
I will be showing you how I draw the 3 breads as well but for those of you who would like to trace them out, I do have an outline that you can download from the resources section. I will also link some reference images, which I used very roughly. When I use reference images like these, I only take the very rough essence of the object so I won't be referring to the pictures in the lessons, but I think that it's always a good idea have an image of it in mind.
Before we start let me just take you through the outline of the lessons so you guys know what to expect.

Like my other classes I’ll by skipping certain parts of the painting when my hands are out of frame so I might paint a bit quicker if you’re following along. As always, I’d suggest for you to watch either the full class or individual lessons before painting along so you understand the progression of each lesson then as you follow along, you can pause in between the videos to finish certain steps and continue at your own pace so there’s no rush.
This class is geared more towards intermediate students who has a fair understanding is watercolours but if you’re a beginner and you’d like to try this out, I would also encourage you to try it out if you’re interested as long as you enjoy the learning process! If this is something that you're interested in learning, I welcome you to join! ^_^
