Oil Pastel Whimsical Cake & VIDEO

The best cakes have zero calories! šŸ™‚ I don’t paint food very much, but this fancy cake was in a magazine. It had cascading purple and gold botanicals on fluffy white frosting. I painted on Canson Graduate XL gray paper, which is smooth with just enough texture for the oil pastels to grab on to. I also used my Prismacolor colored pencils for some details, and Sennelier gold for some shimmering finishing touches.

Do you like to draw and paint food? Food is a great subject to paint because there is such a variety of shapes, colors, and textures! There is a VIDEO at the bottom of the post!
