Step 2: Apply a base color to macarons.
With your colors chosen, it's time to start painting! Carefully mix the desired shades on your palette, paying attention to the amount of water you add to achieve the desired consistency. Dip your brush in the paint and apply it to the watercolor paper in smooth, even strokes. Remember to leave some areas unpainted to create highlights and depth.

Step 3: Add shadows to create depth and dimension.
Use a darker color to paint shadows between the macarons, paying attention to their relative positions to create a realistic sense of depth.

Time to bring your macarons to life! Let's add some tasty details that will make them look good enough to eat. Use a bright orange-yellow to highlight the yummy bits, and then add a touch of gray around the edges to create a sense of depth and dimension.
