Even the most talented artists sometimes struggle to capture the deliciousness of our favorite tasty treats, but not Julia Stankevych. This talented Ukrainian oil painter specializes in painting foods that look as mouth-watering as the real thing, and she’s using the power of social media to share her creative process with the world.
Stankevych has been painting for as long as she can remember, and art has always been her main source of comfort and serenity. She wants her oil paintings to evoke positive emotions, and she’s trying to find the brightest of colors in life through her art.
Food is the main subject Stankevych enjoys exploring through her body of work, and that’s not a coincidence. She wanted to challenge herself by using paint and canvas to convey the taste, smell, and sensation of food, and she developed a special impasto technique that involves preparing newspaper with gesso to make a shimmy texture for her future artwork.
One of the reasons why Stankevych’s Instagram page attracted such a huge following is her step-to-step videos that perfectly capture her creative process. We’ve seen her paint everything from donuts and macaroons to pretzels and croissants, and we got to witness every stroke of her brush as she tirelessly worked to bring these delicious treats to life.
