Banana Pudding Cake


After finishing my scrambled eggs this morning at the diner, I painted the still life on the counter in front of me. And then I made a one minute video about it (Link to video)


The banana pudding cake sits on a paper doily in its covered cake stand. This little painting is mostly transparent watercolor from my pan set. I used a little bit of gouache for the doily and for the highlights in the cylindrical cover.

Ack! After watching your video, Youtube popped up with the usual recommended videos, including recipes for banana cakes... Now I want to make one! They look yummy! :D

How did you make that reflection effect using watercolor? Usually it blends into each other. After gouache I started to think that wc is impossible medium to work with.. Heh'

That video wipe technique is a nice way to show the changes from one stage to another. I guess you've used it before (?) but its effectiveness really struck me in this little piece. I love the study itself, too!
