Jelly bean art by Kristen Cummings
California-based artist Kristen Cummings used thousands of jelly beans to create this reproduction of a famous painting. In particular, 17th-century “Girl with a Pearl Earring” painting by Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.
As a rule, Kristen Cumings spends hours on recreating the iconic images, resulting in detailed works of art out of thousands of colorful jelly beans. Meanwhile, her pieces look good enough to eat. She starts the artistic process by looking at a close up of the reference photo, and then visualizes where each colored jelly bean has to go. She then paints an acrylic version of the photo on a blank canvas. And once that dries, she begins applying the small beans and tries to match the colors as best she can.
