This week's sketchbook assignment: Thiebaud: Favorite Dessert

Wayne Thiebaud (born November 15, 1920) is an American painter widely known for his colorful works depicting commonplace objects—pies, lipsticks, paint cans, ice cream cones, pastries, and hot dogs—as well as for his landscapes and figure paintings.

1. Decide on your favorite dessert. Think about how Thiebaud painted his desserts not only once, but many times in the same painting, sort of like a display in a store (see examples above). 
2. Draw your favorite dessert AT LEAST three times. Don't forget a background! 

3. You may color the desserts differently or the same. 
4. You may use any art materials you would like to color this assignment. I used crayons to color in mine.
