Now that’s what I call a painting. A great setting David, they wouldn’t last long in our house Love the shine on the black liquorice, they are shiny.

Doug….very cool subject and rendition!
Renata… beautifully done!
Cyntada (sorry if I spelled your name wrong it was on the previous page so I couldn’t look it back up) I too love horehounds but not licorice.
David…love your doiley and plate addition. Very crisp and clean.
I’m going to have to give this one a go.

To make the painting simpler I would eat all but one of the sweets (candies)

Tried out the challenge, I usually work more with cartoon type drawings, so going more realistic was a bit of a challenge.

[Yorky Administrator Ormskirk]

I think you did a great job, especially on the textured pink sweet.

Doug, what a fun challenge for this month! Love “Allsorts” too, but can’t find them here…..last time I found some were in my Christmas Stocking:D. Wish I had some now after seeing all the wonderful renditions of these yummy sweets!

Here is my take of the challenge. 8 x 10 inches/ Painted on tissue paper and mounted (ironed) on to the front surface of photo paper for home inkjet printers. The yellow one at the bottom ended up to dark. I tried to lighten it with Chinese White……. got carried away and added more here and there:(

I see you had fun there Athena, but nevertheless the result is excellent.

Thank you Doug:) Yes it was fun. It looked all wrinkled up before the mounting but once done…..all smooth
……….. keep those delicious sweeties coming everybody…….

Doug: Lovely vibrant colors……especially the yummy yellow ones!
Renata: Very nice! Like your violet choice of color.
TheOneBlueGecko: Love how you painted the little pink dots!
Daggers: Great addition of the plate……beautiful!

Oooh – challenge time again. I’ve always wanted to do one of these sweetie pictures. Very nice clean entries guys! And you’ve managed to do those bobbly bits better than I could. I might go back and try those again.
