Gabriella Gildea Food painting - Dai elements of Art description

 

In her food painting, Gabriella created a sense of texture by adding modeling paint with brushstrokes onto the cake, which demonstrated the uneven edge of the surface. the different colors and values between the light green background and blue plate communicate to bring out the dark brown colored cake in the center, making it more "eye-catching". Furthermore, the use of real candles and the flames assembled by similar colored shapes are very well done because it is not only a complementary color to the background but also makes the overall painting looks more 3D.
