Cheesecake Sampler is still a work in progress.
We’re off to a wedding shortly, which is maybe a good thing in this case. That way I can come back later with a fresh eye and develop a plan for finishing this – with your help.
The challenge here is to add enough details to the cheesecake slices without overworking the piece and keeping it fresh. Right now I like the openness and airiness of the designs, and am concerned if I keep going too far, it will start feeling dense. I’m having a good time channeling Jackson Pollock in this food painting.
I will clean up the edges of the swirls on the cake, and maybe the knife. Maybe make the red darker in spots. At the moment, the neutral grey acrylic underpainting is the background. It’s smooth and unobtrusive, so perhaps I’ll leave it, but I’m not sure. (Excuse the cast shadow along the bottom from the easel.)
What would you do next on this painting, especially with the background? Thanks for your help.
Bev, at first I thought it was a cookie, not cheesecake. Maybe needs a fork that has removed a bite so that the depth and texture is apparent…for what it’s worth!
