Cupcakes

My '30 Days of Daily Sketching' challenge is about learning, getting to know my drawing tools better and finding 'my style' in sketching.

Today's sketch definitely fit that bill. I learned that
a) I can't expect a good result when I'm half asleep
b) using a lot of different colored pens for the line drawing does not suit me - I don't like the look of it
c) I can try and save a sketch by using watercolor and even colored pencils on top, but it will only get me so far...

I guess I really need a good idea for what to sketch next - let me know by commenting here or on Facebook at facebook.com/regulascheifeleart.

Carrot Ginger Cake

Todays drawing for my '30 Days of Daily Sketching' was really fun!
I enjoyed putting this still life together and drawing it as quickly as possible... and then I started baking!

The muffins (not a cake after all) have just come out of the oven and smell heavenly! I think this recipe is a keeper...

Anyone recognize / know what the two dark brown things on the left are? - virtual cookies to whoever guesses right!

I realize I have not picked one of the suggestions I recieved, but keep them comming - I'll be collecting them all and will definitely pick an idea for one of my next sketches. Of course you can also follow me on Facebook at facebook.com/regulascheifeleart and comment over there.

Cheese Cake (with Berry Coulis)

Yes, this is it, the last of my "Take 10" paintings!
At least for the moment, I'll definitely do another "Take 10" series again soon. It's just so much fun.

Especially this one. I wanted to end on a good note, and celebrate. With cake. Of course!
My next "Take 10" might acually be all cakes, wouldn't that be cool?

What's YOUR idea for my next series of paintings? Let me know here or on Facebook!

(Spring) Carrot Cake

Sooo.... you might ask yourself: What exactly is a Spring Carrot Cake?

Easy - it obviously is a carrot cake painted as part of my "Take 10 - Spring" challenge. But why should I choose carrot cake as a typical spring subject?
Honestly, no reason.
Apart from today being 'Pie Day'! - and although this cake is not a pie, it's close enough, don't you think?
