Trying Not To Slack Off

It is a holiday weekend, and I have an excuse (if I want it) for not painting, but I feel guilty. So I worked on two more this evening.

The texture of the Crème Brûlée is a bit of a challenge, but fun to work on. The bumps on the surface are rounded, and the squiggles that reflect light have to be painted (with a very small brush) as curved. Also. I'm trying not to disturb the underlayers of earth tones and orange and yellow so there's some depth.

And it turns out that this one shares the same color palette as the marbled surface ones I worked on earlier, so I was able to use more of the paint already squeezed out.
