'Maple Glazed' - 6" x 6" - oil on hardboard panel - SOLD
Technically, this is the study for 'Delicious III' which I've yet to post because I kept getting irritated with how I'd rendered the tissue (or whatever they call those wax paper sheets you use to grab doughnuts off the pastry shelves). Dissatisfied with my results, I decided to do a study before going back to rework the tissue. And this is why studies are so valuable- they help you work through blockages at a smaller scale so that you can more easily accomplish what you want at a larger scale. I should have done the study first. Turns out there is a whole protocol for tissue to get it to look just right, and it involves a tricky combination of wet on wet, wet on dry, dry on dry and neutral underpainting that was previously a mystery to me. Now I know. And the thought of painting tissue again does not scare me as it did two days ago when I started the study in a state of mild-to-moderate frustration. Oh, who am I kidding? I was cussing up a storm. Enjoy!

Absolutely gorgeous! We were just having a discussion today about why donuts taste good with coffee. :)
Gosh, I'm quite dumstruck with how wonderful you did the "tissue". Wish you could give a class on that with us out here in the "background". Thanks for sharing this...now I'll have to try and stumble through a study to figure it out! :) Thanks for sharing this with us out here..
Thank you both. :o)
