Today is cupcake day. This morning I sketched out how I wanted to decorate my Frida and Diego cupcakes and instead of going to the kitchen I started "stirring and cooking" on canvas. Less messy, but not as tasty.
I consciously painted this one in all warm colors. Do they have blue valentine hearts? I know they do have blue cupcake wrappers. The colors were radiant I thought. Just like bold pop art. Then I experimented with some staining (something I have never used til today)...and wow it took it down quite a few notches in boldness and gave it a rather primitive, grungy feel. I used a fine art pencil to write in the letters and words on the valentine heart mouths.
