Painting Project No. 14 from 'Ways to Learn Acrylics'

Project 14 in ‘Little Ways to Learn Acrylics: 50 small painting projects..." by Mark Daniel Nelson was ‘Rendering objects with simple shapes: Slice of cake’. I practiced drawing the cake on cartridge paper then put it on canvas. After adding paint, the cake shape didn’t look right, so I used masking tape to change the lines.

It's too hard to get the frosting perfect so I decided to let some show through on the cake layers. The final result is average; perspective looks off and the cake slice doesn't look like it’s sitting on the table. Getting closer to Chapter 3:)).
