Menu: Edible Elements of Art Piece Near Completion

The en caustic coffee Rosetta, “Rosetta A La Helen Sage,” is over half way done now! I should be able to finish it (or at least come close) this upcoming weekend (April 15- 16) baring any natural disasters!

This update shot has the first layer of coffee painted on the Rosetta defining the general shape and general tonal values. I am using the birch panel as a mid-tone. Since this shot I have added another layer of wax getting ready for the final layer of coffee. Once the final layer of coffee is sealed I will bring out some highlights and edge the cup with additional layers of un-pigmented wax.

Just a reminder that the opening night for Menu: Edible Elements of Art is May 11th, 2006 at the Kirkland Arts Center from 6pm 'till 9! I hope to see you there!
