30 Day Challenge #11 - Licorce

Licorce
ACEO
Pastel/Sanded paper
One of the best things about drawing is getting to eat the props.  Not only do these look good and colorful, they taste good too!  Today I took a little breather as the picture I am working on isn't finished and I didn't want to do a WIP shot.  1/3 of the way through this challenge but feel I am receiving benefits from the pressure to do something presentable daily.   So hanging onto that will try to plow into the last 2/3s of the days.
 
Thanks for stopping by and hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Licorce is one of my favorites....preferable strawberry! yum! This painting is beautifully done. I love all the colors and texture you put into it....using the sanded paper was a good idea. Eating the props is the icing on the cake!

I don't know if I would be able to paint these, I'm afraid they would disappear during the painting...one of my favorite sweets! Looking good and very realistic !

Then it was back into oils.   I kind of am addicted to them now that I got through the first painting.   I do really like how they blend.   Currently am using a styrofoam meat tray as my palette so I can just toss it when it is to messy to clean.  However this was more complex or something and I wasn't able to get it finished in just one sitting.  So I needed to utilize some of the painting medium for my oil...
