This lesson is very simplistic, with the pie isolated against a plain background, leaving nothing else to consider apart from the pie itself! This painting is further simplified with its limited colour palette, but the real emphasis is on the texture. Texture is often one of the most difficult aspects to create realistically. The amount of detail in this lesson is really effective; it's also good to challenge yourself sometimes and paint something very different.
