I started out to paint something just a little different. You see lot of painting of trees, and flower, and pets and people, but how many do you see of muffins? I know, I know, your gonna say its just a still life like a bowl of fruit, or something, but is it really? I really like painting things that not everyone else paints. From the moment I saw this picture, I knew I was going to paint it. I didn't really know how I was going to do it, but I knew I was going to.
What I did was look at what color the muffin tops were, and develop my color palette from there. The tops were gold, and brown and a really warm earthy yellow. I decided on transparent orange oxide, yellow ochre, raw umber and van dyke brown. The brown crusty parts are really just orange oxide. and the in between parts are mostly yellow ochre. Their is an under layer of raw umber and yellow ochre. The muffin cup is mostly raw umber. I needed to make it similar to the top, but different enough that you could tell it was paper. I tied it all together with a light yellow background and a few blueberries in the foreground.
If you want a more detailed description, you can watch the video below. Thanks for taking the time to view it, I hope you like it, I had a blast painting it.
