Let's go!
Strada Challenge: Breads
🥖 Indulge your eyes (and appetite) with warm crusts and soft centers. In this 2+ hour Strada Challenge, Bryan Mark Taylor leads you through a delicious lineup of breads—sourdough, artisan loaves, pretzels, jam-topped wonders—while you practice texture, shape overlap, value, and color mood.
You’ll learn how to:
🎨 Render crust vs crumb: capture contrast between hard outer surfaces and tender interiors with texture and value
📐 Simplify overlapping shapes so your compositions stay readable even in complexity
🌗 Handle atypical local values so your breads read true under different lighting and color contexts
🍞 Build warmth, richness, and depth even in muted or subtle color schemes
A perfect challenge for advanced still-life artists who want to hone color decisions, texture, and value richness—especially in scenes with overlapping forms and varied surfaces. 🕒 Runtime: 2+ hours
