The croissant, watercolor, Cassandra Yocum, ACEO

Details

Original watercolor ACEO (Art Cards, Editions & Originals) featuring a warm, buttery croissant rendered in rich golden tones. This miniature painting captures the flaky layers and glossy, baked sheen of a classic French pastry, with deep amber shadows and soft highlights that emphasize its crisp, folded texture. Loose yet intentional brushstrokes create dimension along each curved ridge, while subtle lavender shadows ground the croissant and give it a sense of light and surface. The soft blue background adds contrast, making the warm yellows, oranges, and toasted browns stand out beautifully. The composition is simple and clean, allowing the texture and color of the pastry to take center stage. Hand-painted on heavyweight watercolor paper, this is a one-of-a-kind (OOAK) original—no prints or reproductions. Perfect for food art collectors, bakery lovers, kitchen decor, dollhouse displays, or anyone who appreciates cozy, café-inspired artwork in miniature form.
