HOW TO PAINT PUMPKIN PIE IN WATERCOLORS

Painting food is challenging, and has a lot of details, but painting food is something that can help you improve your art as you get out of your comfort zone. I understand food has a lot of detail, and those details can be simplified in your paper. You don’t have to copy what you can see from the reference photo, and you can change something to show your artistic art.
