Here is a little step by step guide to painting ice cream using gouache. If you give this a try tag me in your pictures so I can see!

Step one: Paint a triangle in a ice cream cone color.

Step two: Paint the first scoop by painting a D shape on top of the cone with four small circles on the bottom of that D shape.

Step Three: repeat the same sape as in step two but on top of the first ice cream scoop.

Step Four: Mix just a slightly darker you used for the ice cream scoops and add shadows on the bottom right of each circles on the ice cream cream scoops. I also added a line where the crease of the ice cream would be.

Step Five: Mix a slightly lighter color that you used for the ice cream scoops and add highlights. Add the highlights to the top right of the circles and scoops.

Step Six.: Add a shadow and detail lines in diagonal on the ice cream cone.

bonus: if you want the ice cream to have a more gradient effect use a watered down base color of the ice cream to blend into the shadow and highlight areas.

Have fun painting,
