Unframed. I spent a late evening toasting various marshmallows on sticks to create a reference image, then attempted to do a quick form and color study while live streaming the process. Although I've never painted toasted marshmallows before, I think I was able to capture the toastiness and caramelization, as well as some of the weight of the toasted marshmallows, despite the time constraint. I opted to give it a bit of a trompe l'oeil-ish effect, where the marshmallows and stick included the illusion of cast shadows on the panel surface. Overall, I think it's a fun little piece that was surprisingly gratifying to paint!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure to tune in to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/kim_testone_artist\" title=\"Kim Testone's Twitch Live Painting Streams\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emy Twitch streams\u003c\/a\u003e to see me paint both small and large studies, as well as work on my fully detailed gallery-quality paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/kim_testone_artist\" title=\"Kim Testone's Twitch Live Painting Streams\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTwitch Live Painting Streams\u003c\/a\u003e take place Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions?
