Wayne Thiebaud: Oil Pastel Desserts

Start by completing the practice packet. This is a SEPARATE grade from the main drawing!

 

Wayne Thiebaud was an American artist who became known for his colorful paintings of desserts.

He uses basic 3D forms (cubes, spheres, pyramids, cylinders…) to create his desserts and then adds details to bring them to life.

A plate of food with different types of desserts AI-generated content may be incorrect.

 

He also usually used cool colors (blue, green, or purple) for his cast shadows.

Step 1: Divide your paper into 12 boxes using a ruler. If you are using 9” x 12” paper, that would be a line every 3 inches.

You can use the color wheel to find other opposite pairs! Can you find a couple more complementary color pairs? There are a lot of different color schemes, but we'll look at six of them: MONOCHROMATIC "mono" = one, "chroma" = color, so "monochrome" = one color A monochrome picture uses different values  of one single color. Example: light blue, medium blue, and dark blue. ANALOGOUS Similar or "neighbor" colors Example: red, red-orange, and orange COMPLEMENTARY Complementary = opposites A complementary color scheme uses two colors that are opposites on the color wheel. Example: ...
