French Donut Before and After

I thought it was finished but I decided I didn't like how green it was and wanted to make it a warmer orange. And it was easy! Wasn't a pain to do at all, and only took a short time. I'm much, much happier with it now.

Before

After

All five small donut paintings

Acrylic paintings on 6 x 8" canvas panels.

French Honey Dip Donut

The last in this group of single donuts. I want to move on to other subjects. These were fun to do and it helped me with self-discipline and speed. Maybe now I can focus more on slowing down and doing more involved work.

Glazed Donut painting

I did this today from life. It doesn't look like the actual donut, but I still like the end result. I guess i still have to work on better color matching. Neatness doesn't matter, but color and value do. And try to pay attention to brush stroke textures.

Chocolate Glazed Donut painting

Did this one from memory alone. Testing my abilities. Also did it in one afternoon--2 hrs I think. 6 x 8" on canvas panel.

An older Donut painting.

Still my favorite one.

Jelly Donut Bite and Cream Donut Bite paintings

I did these in the last 2 days. I've been trying to improve my self-discipline. Finishing these in a short time made me feel great. I was experimenting and practicing with style, color combos, and values. The cream one is from my reference photo, and the jelly is out of my imagination. Each acrylic painting is on a 6" x 8" canvas panel. Happiness is always donuts!!!
