hershey's chocolate candy bar photorealism trompe loeil painting by kim testone
“Open,” acrylic on panel, 10″ x 8″. SOLD.
 I thought I’d try a new pose for this Hershey’s bar. The background is a
light gray, which helps to make the highlights of the opened package
stand out more.

I use many thin glazes of transparent and opaque
acrylic paint to achieve as much smoothness and color richness as I
can. Feel free to visit my instagram page to see some step-by-step
photos of this piece as I painted it:

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Artist Kim Testone

I’m a full-time acrylic realism and trompe l’oeil painter creating whimsical food paintings inspired by real-life creations that I bake, decorate or scoop in my kitchen. All of my paintings are flat, painted with many thin layers of acrylic paint, aiming to look at three-dimensional as possible. I hope you’ll join me on the journey of creating art that brings a little happy magic into the world. I’ll be sharing my process, my insights, and hopefully some things that will inspire you to appreciate the little things around you every day.

The Formal Stuff:

  • B.A. in Studio Art from the University of Central Florida
  • M.A. in Arts Administration from Savannah College of Art and Design
  • Former Art Magazine Editor
