Kewpie Mayonnaise

In case you are unfamiliar with this product, it is a Japanese mayonnaise. We thought the red stripes were a great mechanism of attraction, and the really hard text/graphics appearing on the soft mayo was a nice contrast. In reality the package is fairly sloppy/loose; however, with these paintings it is our intent to pinpoint, abstract and reveal the ideal mechanism of attraction for each object, therefore we draw as things as they wish to be not always as they are.

Whirly Pop

Here is a final image of the whirly pop, this was a fun piece to make with techniques that varied a little from the rest. There are physical ridges in each color segment that catch the highlights, we made these by piling on the paint and then pulling a rough house painting brush through it. Once the under painting dried this was a quick piece to paint. All of the detail/info is just glazed over a flat under painting.

Tea Cup

Here is the final image to our most time intensive image! I painted the saucer on this thing twice, seeing as how this painting is 4 feet across that is a lot of work...pheww. Although we had good reference, we wound up doing a lot of the rendering based on how we thought it should look rather then how it looked, so at times it was a little confusing. Despite the ups and downs we are pretty happy with the way it came out. The color is very deep and reflective and that is quite wonderful.
