Wayne Thiebaud Cakes

Some of you know that I am an avid baker and cake decorator; so it's no surprise that I am drawn to Wayne Thiebaud's work and excited that he is the feature of this Art Masterpiece presentation.

After viewing a short video and looking at images of his artwork (while drooling of the real cupcakes I brought for props.), students sketched their images and used watercolor pencils onto watercolor paper.


Wayne Thiebaud is an American painter known for his colorful works depicting cakes, pies and other pastries.

They had freedom to sketch the cupcakes as is or add images of desserts you might find in a traditional diner.



 I love the shading on this one.



Every once in a while we get a student that likes to personalize their artwork (notice the picture within the picture)?



What about you? Do you like to bake, paint, or draw?
