#314 Vanilla Bean Cupcake

I've lately been playing around with this method of painting where I lay down a drawing, fix it, wipe a wash of burnt umber over the whole thing, pull out the lights and build the painting from there, leaving the background with the burnt umber wash. I would tell you that I bought this cupcake specifically "for the still life" but we are all lovers of art and lies (other than the ones painted on panels and canvas) do not become us.
