Still Life Grapes, Wine bottle and glass painting demonstration.

After rummaging around in my hard drive, I found these pics of a still life grapes, wine bottle and glass. It shows the imprimatura with ink drawing, umber layer, grey layer, and the finishing layer with closeups of the grapes. I hope it will be of benefit to you to see the brush work close up.

Even at this early stage, I've included the major highlights on the glass.

The wine bottle labeling are only hieroglyphics.

Highlights on the grapes are also included early. This is a small 9" x 12" painting.

The completed painting! The gold trim on the label being very shiny and with all metallic surfaces, has a lot of reflections and bright then dark areas. I was unable to locate any of the color layers as they were built up that would have shown the grapes process. I will include these in my next grape painting.

However, you can enjoy some of the close ups of the grapes and glass that show the highlights, gray film on the grapes, and fire glow reflections on the right of each grape.
