Today I have spent about 4 hours doing this picture on A1 paper with pastels. I started off drawing the basic geometric shapes in soft pencil and then worked into that with pastels. I am pleased with the cake on the right i think it looks 3D...i also like the contrast of light and dark shades on it going from top to bottom.I think the jam tart is starting to look realistic too.I am going to continue this drawing next week....i need to put more darker shades in the french fancy and draw a reflection of the cakes in the wine glass. My main focus on this picture next week will be to work into the negative space around the cakes and glass and turn the white background into a paper plate. I was chuffed today when a few people said they liked my picture :) woo!
