Cupcake - Progress

So this is my second cupcake.

I always have difficulty staying in the same style based on the subject. Honestly, the color scheme was a bit hard for me, because it was hard not to muddy up the colors in such a small space. Also I had an accident...(can I hear someone say OH OH..yep) a big red blob fell off my brush onto the paper, and I could not clean it up, so I had to improvise and hide it under a leaf. Since the colors were so close to each other value wise and I could not deepen them and still preserve the airy feeling, I decided to use a pen sparingly.

I really hope you and my friend Leslie (who commissioned) will like the final result.

So welcome, the new addition, "The Fall Cupcake"





After this photo the "Oh Uh" happened, so the leaf appeared



My camera does not capture the colors that well, so as soon as I will get a better image I will post it. The colors are beautiful and fresh, like the first days of fall and remind me of sherbert HAHA. Enjoy

Jessica finished version


This is "Jessie" the finished version. Its an 8 x 8" acrylic on canvas board. Took about 15+ hours.


I have also received a commission to do a family portrait for the whole family, so watch for the progress photos in the coming months.
