#WorldWatercolorMonth Day 24 Sweet Treats

Ad-Free Blog

Well, here's another one! Thank you for staying with me---today's theme is Sweet Treats---which is great. I chose to do three mini pics---to use as artwork eventually for the cafe in my Barbie Hotel. Which I hope to be working on soon. Barbie scale painting!

Again, I'm using sketchbook paper---these are going to be quick, hoping not to get too complicated and overworked.

Here you can see my faint sketches---and some yellow/resist, 

that I will peel off after painting for highlights. I wanted a polkadot cupcake paper--and figured this was easy way-out for white dots.

Palette:

Cobalt Blue

Prussian Blue

VanDyke Brown

Burnt Sienna

Alizarian Crimson

Cadmium Yellow Pale

Lemon Yellow

wax resist 

I'm painting with a couple of synthetic 1/4"- 1/2" flat and a small round, background a very old hair wash 1" brush.

I really kept these simple as they will be shrunk down to about 1/4 or less the size. You can see the resist---yellow dots and some strokes in the pink icing, highlights on the cappuccino cup.

This is a closeup, the plaid cloth is just a few strokes on wet paper and then dry brush enhanced.

This lemon blueberry cupcake has a candied lemon slice on top--had this once-to die for.

Capacinno cup---is fun---the yellow is still the resist--I removed it in the final shot, after a bit of detail, the TREATS are done!

The paper is a bit curved, distorting the cup.

I think I have to iron all my sketchbook paper paintings. 

Next, I peeled off the resist, 

and used the white areas to make my highlights.

I added darker blue to the blueberries, the raspberry frosting is eh---but I bet it tastes better than it looks. 

I imagined the cupcake to be a nice mocha chocolate, with raspberry icing! 

Hmmm, I think it needs a raspberry on top, and a leaf.

So what's your favorite treat---!
