Today I am going to share the process on how I created a colourful painting of ice-cream. It has been a very long time since I have had ice-cream. So, I looked for some ice-cream pictures on Pinterest and found one that I liked and painted it.
## *Tools and Materials*
* A 300gsm watercolour paper * A Watercolour palette set * A HB pencil to draw * A waterbrush * A tissue paper to absorb excess water
## *Method*

![1.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmda8HgJQ5afdtrDQKnMXfLpidv8FoRomCYTsLdMAEqYMW/1.jpg) I started my painting with pink colour. I tried not to use a lot of water because I was using a sheet where I have already painted on one side before :D
![3.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYxxC4UYDDFvmZBUfCyDCtE8xRNS9rJeR5X68c1ffeMSh/3.jpg) I added some red to the pink. It looks bright here but since my medium is watercolour, it will look lighter anyway later on when it dries out.
![4.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZtpKTiPz6dA1UzfK47LCe9vrYy9NpLYBvh8PLAU8YUoE/4.jpg) The red pigment has dried out and while painting it earlier, I blended it with the pink and added some purplish tones as well. I used different shades of cyan for the next scoop of ice-cream.

I know the images look a little weird unlike my usual mobile captured images and the reason is because these are screenshots of my video. I was so excited to paint the ice-cream that I completely forgot to take pictures in between! However I managed to record the process as I thought of making a video one day.
![6.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcZNQxggYMVuBddcAD2vkQo4GqkQtvt8yzn96QA5SqSBV/6.jpg) I did a few dabs of dark and light golden brown tones. Dabbing seemed to help create the texture of ice-cream.
![7.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVWYtCi5wckdRbKxPssf1SaMa93AHVvH7L3yAiuGhkbtV/7.jpg) I painted the ice-cream container in red next. I purposely used more water to dilute the paint on the left to keep the colour light and create a little highlighted area.

This is when I realized that I forgot to pause and take pictures after each step. I painted the ribbon and used different blues for both the ribbon around the container and for the bow so that the bow can be distinguished and will look more obvious.

I also added some colours on the ground to create a subtle hint of a flat surface. I was done and called this artwork a finished one. Phewwww
