Cupcake Illustration

                                                       Acrylic on board 6" x 6"
I just wanted to do something bright and fun from my imagination. I did however paint the fork from life and I also got a few cachous out of the pantry to copy the shine on them.
Now to do some writing!

    1. Thanks so much Celia! I enjoyed trying my hand at inventing the pattern but I found the acrylics rather gluggy for the detail. It made me think I would like to try a similar thing in watercolour where there is scope for much finer work.
      I admire the beautiful work you have been doing in watercolours.

  2. Oh very scrummy Wendy. Very apt too as I'm about to do a cup cake as a birthday card for a friend. Love the colours and the detailing in the table cloth.

    1. Thank you so much Michael for your wonderfully upbeat comments. That was the main drawback of painting from my imagination - there was nothing to eat at the end of it!
      Happy painting!
      Wendy

    1. Thank you Jane! I'm fascinated to know how you went so many years before trying your first cupcake?Now that I think of it I don't recall seeing any when I visited Italy some years ago. I'm glad to hear that you loved it!
