Easter Table with Hot Cross Buns

A spring Easter table holds hot cross buns, painted eggs, fresh flowers and linen napkins. Morning light crosses the table and separates the baked textures from the softer flowers and cloth.

The main subject gives the image a clear starting point. Begin with the strongest edges and separate nearby colors before joining smaller details. Repeated shapes become easier once the broad layout is in place. Save quiet background areas until the foreground has a firm frame. At larger piece counts, changes in texture and light help distinguish pieces that share a color.
