Wayne Thiebaud, an acclaimed American painter, is renowned for his vibrant depictions of ordinary objects and everyday items, including cakes, pastries, cosmetics, boots, and toys.
His distinctive style is characterized by the use of bold, exaggerated colours that bring his subjects to life.
In our session, we'll be channeling Thiebaud's unique aesthetic using oil pastels, an ideal medium for capturing his bold and colourful style.
The outcome is sure to be both bright and uniquely original!
For an added touch, consider using watercolours as an optional enhancement for your background or even on the cake itself—the choice is yours, allowing for personal expression and creativity.
