Croissant for painting 54! Painting food is too fun, and there's so much freedom in painting something that is so textured and crusty. Perfect for hard lines and layers in watercolor. The added depth with the napkin and the shadows really brings it all together. I can't wait to see how you do with this one! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Paper: arches 140 lb cotton 9X12" paper that I've cut into 3X3" pieces, giving me 12 pieces per page.

Paint: The palette I'm using today is the split primary palette by letter sparrow: cad yellow deep, lemon yellow, cad red, magenta, ultramarine blue, cerulean(probably closer to phthalo blue), indigo and sap green. I don't use all the colors, but I will name them as I mix them. Feel free to use pre mixed convenience colors as well.

Brushes: round 10 & 4 - Princeton brand

I had a chocolate croissant the other day. It was amazing. Made me wonder why I’ve never had one.

I would like to use the outline but I am having trouble getting the right size. When I download it it’s bigger than the 3x3 square. Does anybody have any tips on how the download and what platform they use? Also, if I try to trace straight onto my iPad when I open the link, the pressure from me tracing enlarges the picture. Thank you

What software do you have? You can resize the image in Google Docs (free), MS Word, Photopaint, Canva (free), Photopea (free), etc. I use CorelDraw. A lot of people don't have it. My version is several years old. I got it because I used to use it at work so I know it very well. Make a 3 x 3 box for you image to fit in so you know it's the right size, then you can delete the box. Or, sometimes you can just choose the size of the image in the settings.
