🍰 Raspberry Sponge Cake Watercolor Sketch Tutorial (Patreon)

🍰 Raspberry Sponge Cake is now available!

This week, we’re painting a delicious raspberry sponge cake topped with fresh berries, delicate flowers and flowing caramel glaze. It’s one of those subjects that combines everything watercolor sketching lovers enjoy — beautiful colors, interesting textures and plenty of opportunities to add expressive details.

In this lesson, we’ll work step by step to create a rich and inviting sketch while practicing warm golden tones, soft berry shades, shadows, highlights and small decorative elements that bring the illustration to life.

Along the way, we’ll explore:• Building volume and form with watercolor layers• Painting raspberries and floral details• Creating the effect of glossy caramel• Adding shadows and highlights for depth• Working with liner details and finishing touches

This sketch is a wonderful opportunity to practice both watercolor techniques and observation skills while creating something bright, elegant and full of character.
