Welcome to our latest weekend art challenge, all about cakes! You can draw, paint or illustrate any kind of cake. It could be a Vanilla Custard Slice, Battenburg, Fresh cream scone, Chocolate eclairs, Bakewell Tarts, Macaroons or what about a Jam Doughnut with lots of cream and jam!
If you have access to buy a cake specifically for this task from a shop – great! Alternatively we have provided lots of photos of cakes below. If you are working from life, it might be an idea to photograph your set up because…well….we know that it might be just too tempting to sit and look at the cake for such long periods of time. Also someone might come along and eat it when you aren’t looking! So make sure you have some back up photos to work from in case!
Best of luck, happy drawing or painting and happy eating!!
The idea of these challenges is to help students improve their skills by drawing, painting and creating regularly.
So try to submit work that you have created specifically for the challenge – or course work you are currently creating for your art course. Sometimes our challenge themes cross over with what students are learning. Our challenges are great practive for your coursework too!
Remember to submit your artwork to us via email if you would like it posted on our blog next week.
