A golden strawberry tart sits on a blue plate on a wooden table. Cut strawberries and green mint leaves sit on top. A red and white striped cloth lies in the corner. The shapes are big and round, so it's a good first painting. Your paint stays inside the lines, so the red fruit won't spill onto the cream.

How to paint it

  1. Choose Watercolour for a soft look or Oil for a bolder one. Make the brush big and paint the table light brown. Add the wood lines with Darker.
  2. Paint the cloth cream and its stripes red. Paint the plate blue, then add its shade with Darker around the rim.
  3. Paint the pastry gold, then add the toasted edges with Darker. Paint the filling cream.
  4. Paint the strawberry centres light orange, then the outsides red. Add their shade with Darker near the edges. Paint the mint leaves green.
  5. Draw the leaf veins with the Pencil in dark green. Dab a few cream spots on the strawberries with Gouache.
